Random notes on the restauration of Morgans, MGBs and Minis
Since Dec 12th 2021 - the day the Mini Sport package should have arrived according to the first UPS notification - I have been calling UPS 25 times !!! I opened a claim and 2 internal investigations.

The tracking info said that the receiver has... Continue Reading →

On the plus side I learned to love the old BSAU7 wiring standard. If you followed my blog, you might remember... Continue Reading →

Our Daughter Noa moved back home this week. She will stay for a while before starting her studies abroad next year. Because she likes driving Maggie - we took the MG to get the vaccination booster shot close to Cologne. The car started easily, and the engine ran well - but after 30km I noticed...
