Random notes on the restauration of Morgans, MGBs and Minis
It has been a while since my last post and a lot has happened. After a bit of vacation in June a lot of work, family stuff and chores around the house and garden kept me busy - to a point where I did not have the energy or time to update the site. One... Continue Reading →
Last month my father passed away. Even though we all knew that due to his sickness and condition it would happen eventually - it is painful when the moment finally comes. I wasn't sure if I should write about it or not. But my obsession for the Morgan and British cars was certainly something my... Continue Reading →
In an abstract way the title fits that last couple weeks quite well. A role change at work, back and forth with Mildred's engine crankshaft, fiddling around with the new 3D printer, outstanding deliveries and a trip to Northern Germany in the Mini - they somehow all could be summarized into too many moving parts...

Getting Maggie back home last week on a trailer was exhausting. A number of tasks at work and gardening chores kept me out of the garage until Saturday late evening. Obviously, I wanted to find out what went wrong - even though it felt like having a Deja-vu. Back in 2022 I decided to get... Continue Reading →

Driving Maggie via small backroads back to Munich was also... Continue Reading →

Orgininally, one of my daugthers wanted to join. My plan was that she would take the MGB (especially... Continue Reading →
It just 55 days the biggest adventure this year is about to start. The British Odyssey 2024 - a trip through the UK from Lands'End to John O'Groat - which officially cannot be called LeJog but might be even better. The idea was spawn almost immediately after the announcement at LeJog2023 that Hero-ERA will pause... Continue Reading →
In a few days we will be heading to the UK for my son's bachelor celebration. Due to the London ULEZ extension his Saab 900 Turbo (aka Saabeth) is still here with me, and I am occasionally taking for a spin. While I feel to know one of two things about MGs, Minis and the... Continue Reading →
Mallorca is just an island - yet there are plenty of nice roads to explore. One important thing to consider though is the time of the year & day & hours you are taking a classic car out for a tour. Keep in mind that you share the road with many cyclists, locals, and other... Continue Reading →
