A random selection of posts about travel and tinkering with mechanical machines. Mostly cars from 1937 to 1999, manufactured in English speaking parts of the world, but also kayaks and sewing machines. So here you can see how we travel, drive, paddle, break fix and find on a regular basis. On a desktop, you can choose your favourite item from the list on the right, choose a page from the menu or simply scroll down to see the latest.

Autumn run
Took the "new" MGB to the Austin Morris Riley Wolseley Autumn run. A few gremlins jumped aboard though. The temperature sender for the fans popped out of the radiator and dumped coolant on the road. Also the battery ran down because the fan belt was too loose. A kind gentleman gave us a jumpstart. Otherwise the car ran very well and we're well chuffed. It's great to be back to roadster driving!
Here's a short movie of the event.
