Some information about me –

  • "Oh that magic feeling" ...The Obsession started over 6 yrs ago now. My wife purchased a 78 midget as a 25th wedding anniversary gift. Ironically the midget was also 25 yrs old at the time! The Gt came along 2yrs later as a stand in while I was to work on the midget. It originated from Zurich, Switzerland. The only difference about it is that the speedo is in Kms and the radio is a blaupunkt.

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 ...

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 Rosell...

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 bac...

Yeah!! The Horses Are Out Of The Stable!! At Last..

Posted on: Saturday March 6, 2010

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...
