Hopefully that link works for you guys.

   I changed the oil today, new gas, carb & choke cleaner in the throttle body (A little flame came out and my wife yelled at me 🙂 Fuel treatment etc….

   The old oil was BLACK and smelled like gas! On top of that I left the radio on last night so dead battery(jeesh!) I ran it for a while but not long…[Read more]

WOW, thanks for sharing. Great pics, great automobile. Looks like new

mg arrival

If anyone has to ship a car…the truckers really do take good care of them, even on an open car carrier. They have a lot to lose reputation-wise if they start messing up.And the even better news for us is that convertibles will almost always go on the top rack. They don’t want anything leaking down on the fabric. Something that would dirty a…[Read more]

Geoff,
All weekend I kept thinking and worrying over that side curtain. In my mind I knew your dad would not let her travel without it, and then I kept thinking about Marlon Brando and Stella (link above).
I have indeed bonded with my car (James Bond here) more than when I restored her. Now I am a surgeon with the patient all over the driveway.
Go…[Read more]

James,
My Dad had the driver zip up the window. Nice catch!

Geoff,
Wow! That is terriffic! Don’t worry about the oil leaks, shifting and rough running issues. That just makes it more fun and enhances the Guy/Car “Bonding” experience. Just ask James, he’s about as Bonded to his car as is humanly possible!
Really glad she made it there. Enjoy!!!!!
Rich

SWEET! . Can you set up a cot next to her?
James
BTW, Did they put on the side curtain on the driver’s side before hitting the road? In the pics it was off, hopefully to just get it on the trailer.

I love the looks of it. Mel, didn’t you get a Moto Meter recently? Or are you still looking?
I seem to remember it was on your list.
James

Goeff:
Fantastic, sounds like she did pretty well on her transcontinental trip.  When I fly across country I have more problems than the car does.

Congratulations! Enjoy the ride!

All,

   Stella finally arrived yesterday at about 3pm. I spent about 8 hrs cleaning, polishing and such then reluctantly went to bed. I had to step down from my cloud and go to work today, but you can bet I’ll be back with her by 6 tonight.
She appears to be leaking oil from the oil filter(never leaked before) So I will change the oil pr…[Read more]

It’s MONDAY!!
I’m pacing down in Memphis!

That’s a good tune James. I’ve been whistling it all day! And just 24 hrs to go (not that I’m counting)

James:
No British car shows in Florida, but the local Vintage car club has a show the week after I get there.  I am joining that club, the president has been very in giving me advise and I think they need some Vintage Britsih rolling stock.
I hope to have my car at that show
5 weeks and counting
 

Geoff:
she looks great, now just be patient and she will arrive soon. 
It probably feels the same way you do prior to the arrival of a child.
You’ll be cruising in her before you know it.  Trust me I’m 5 weeks away from seeing mine again.
 

That is too funny!! That’ll show your Kids! I’m taking it with me even when I’m dead. Classic

It’s still raining here, I need to get back on the Ark project.
I decided to not pull the engine until I get back from our TD road trip (without the TD) on the 23th. I have decided that it is in the clutch / flywheel area, 98.4% sure. The clutch petal has a different feel to it when depressed, can’t describe it, but just feels different, seems to…[Read more]

Mel,
With June in sight, have you lined up car shows in Florida? Any southern Britfests this summer?
