Random notes on the restauration of Morgans, MGBs and Minis
There was simply no time to write an update this week. Therefore this is going to be a bit of a collections and recap of a few things. Last Sunday I had another Driver Savefy Training scheduled. 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 →
After two mostly rainy days on French motorways we were finally in Girona. The hotel I booked was in the old city centre and offered parking. Getting into the garage however was extremely difficult.

Easy Peasy! That is basically the summary of the first day and the longest (planned) drive. This time we didn't have any major problems - well, besides the weather. No overheating, no slipping clutch, no suspension rattles, no electrical quirks. Start time was later than planned due to rain. It was supposed to stop raining... Continue Reading →
The last weeks have been extremely busy. Business travel to Zurich and Berlin kept me from my garage. The only reminder of my cars was that I ran across MGB GTs on both trips. In Zurich a nice dark green GT with the recessed shark mouth grille (so 1971/1972 I think) and in Berlin a... Continue Reading →
Back home after an interesting week from a business trip to London. As mentioned in my last post, I used the opportunity to visit my son with Saabeth - his Saab 900 Turbo. Fitted with new Vredestein Quatrac all season tires the trip to Uxbridge could not have been better. With 327000km on the clock... Continue Reading →
