Went on a trip last weekend to Missoula Mt. to join in the celebration for a couple celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. It was an enjoyable time. The trip was just as good. Gidget (our midget) drove 1370 miles in 2 days, without incident. We drove through east glacier, west glacier, Kalispell, Missoula. Lots of twisty turnies and a mountain pass. What a blast. Then home via 200 ( a long praire drive). Our new 10 wk old puppie acccompanied us and was a great travel companion. Overall it was a wonderful weekend.

The midget is in the shop receiving a new coat of paint. Hopefully we will be able to come close to the aztec yellow to compliment it's "good looks".

We had a wonderful trip to Radium BC for an all Brits Car show. pics here..http://picasaweb.google.com/Calgary.MG.Photos/BritsBest2010# We entered both the GT and Midget. The midget came in a close third out of (3) midgets... not bad eh?

Our other adventure - we just moved into a new home that has required a lot of work. So.. we hired some amateur landscapers to do the yard. (Save a few bucks eh..) So I request a gravel drive out back so I can park the MGs from time to time. They brought in some gravel.. I parks da Midget car.. and come home later to find that my wife has buried the back end of the midget up to the chassis in a foot of gravel... OUCH!!! It escaped unscathed after some more digging and jimmying boards under the wheel to lift the car out of the cavernous hole..

Took it out for a long drive after that to make up to it .. The shock of the event lead Roselle and I to go ahead and get that long awaited paint job done on the Midget... (Just in time for Roselle and Crystal to enjoy a trip together to Kelowna. All girls adventure. They are soooo excited. I hope they have a great time.

7 sleeps to go and both cars are ready to go.. The midget just had its 500 mile break in oil change, muffler system tweeked and a strange jury rigged brace removed from the tranny that was intended to make the transmission stay stationary?? All it did was serve to create another contact point for unwanted vibrations..

The GT has a new front passenger bearing and a new stainless steel exhaust system.. Both cars are set, and after the initial house move/ renovations, I'm sure Roselle and I will be ready for a short respite in the midst of the flurry of activity.. I hope to take a bunch of pics of the trip to chronicle the adventure.. posts to follow... Yippee!!!! MG trip time at last!!!

We've been so busy at work over the last couple of months, that the MGs are laying under cover asleep in the stable. Last weekend was the first car show of the season.Spring Thaw as it is called, usually brings out a large crowd to display their pride and joys. Roselle and I were busy house shopping for a new home. We just sold our current house in a record 1 week of being on the market.(record for us) We have found a cute home that is a pearl in disguise. It will need alot of work to get it back into shape. I guess that's where the years of putsing around on the MGs comes in. It will be a long summer I am afraid for the MGs... Oh well... time will avail the pleasantries as they unfold.

We had a balmy 10 C weather here today. It was warm enough and dry enough on the roads to go for a little spin. We decided to take both cars out to our grand daughter's birthday party and later, over to the opposite side of the city to watch our grandson play soccer. It was an enjoyable first outing. Many more to come...
