  • An old and dusty story
    They were rattling along on a trail in some forgotten part of the country in a pickup truck without air conditioning. It was dry and hot. Desolate and dusty. Before turning off the tarmac they had driven for hours on straight roads, where the few lorries they encountered appeared as flying mirages in the distance and the low hills created the impression the […]
  • Lada class 15 sewing machine
    I knew this unmarked case contained a Lada Sewing machine, but when I got it the case was locked and there was no key. Fortunately I have a large tin full of different keys and I was lucky: I found a key that unlocked my treasure. Inside there was this beautiful green Lada sewing machine. The Lada sewing Company was established in Sobeslav, Czechoslovakia in […]
  • MGF instrument cowl repair
    The cowl over the instrument cluster on our MGF was broken and showed large cracks."Fortunately" the fixing clips at the rear had also broken, so I could remove the cowl easily by unscrewing the front. The rear clips seem to have been screwed in from the rear of the dashboard before the air ducts were assembled. Extremely hard to reach. What were t […]
  • Austin A55 pickup Carburettor fix
    Don't you think the MGB Rostyles look rather funky on the pickup? This is an experiment to see how a larger size of tyres would work to limit the revolutions at motorway speeds. They do make an improvement, but steering is too heavy, so the experiment is still going on. Meanwhile the car was running rather too rich while the adjustment was at its leanes […]
  • Austin Pickup adjusting adjusters
     The new brake adjuster had arrived, so it was time to remove the temporary bodge. This was the temporary fix I found on the car. It didn't work well anymore, so I was happy to receive the new adjuster.  Fitting the new shiny item was easy. Now I could adjust the brakes and the pedal is quite firm. I like that.  The brakes work much better now. I would […]
  • Wolseley 18/85 service and creeky balljoint cure
    Again it was time for a biennial service job on the Wolseley. Oil and filter were changed and the other fluids checked. Also the brakes were inspected, cleaned and inspected.  Look how similar these brakes seem compared to the A55 pickup.At the front a good clean was all we could do. The brakepads were fine and the pistons all moved freely.At dry summer days […]
  • Austin A55 Pickup revisited
     Remember this 1969 Austin pickup? We visited this car in 2011. At that time I had just started the Wolseley Ten project, so I decided not to adopt the pickup as one project was enough. The car was sold to a trader and then ended up with a friendly couple up north. The trader had fixed a few issues and the gave the car a good polish. He also changed the Aust […]
  • Coffee to go
    Obviously we could not go out for lunch,  but we could take the Mini out after lunch to pick up two 'coffee to go' and enjoy them at a scenic spot.
  • Moonlight drive
     It's  very pretty out there tonight 
  • Goodbye baby Wagoneer
    We could say we have arrived at the end of an era.  In 2002 when we went to pick up our "new" Wagoneer, we thought we'd just drive the car for a few years, but we never imagined it would be so many. It was such a big and compicated car, compared to the other cars. But it just kept going and it was such a strong and useful vehicle, after some y […]
