I'm a dyed in the wool car guy, who works in automotive consulting, so I get to drive a lot of cool cars in a lot of cool places. Aside from my '66 BRG MGB, I've got an '08 VW R32, which I cherish.

The Green Monster Goes All Needy

Posted on: Wednesday August 5, 2009

During the whole speedo debacle, I'd maintained the constant goal of getting things squared away by this past weekend. The Meadow Brook Concours d'Elegance was on Sunday, and I had a date...a girl who was actually excited about going with me. Impressing her with my LBC was a must, especially after I found out that her dad has a TR7. So when I got the speedo back on Thursday, things were going according to plan. I hooked it up, things were good, go me! But apparently, having sensed that this ...

Ludicrous Speed

Posted on: Wednesday August 5, 2009

Well, when we last left our hero, he was waiting for his speedo back from West Valley Instruments. It arrived, and I hooked it up to the car to test it. Well, things for me are never that simple. The speedo read 80 mph, but according to the GPS I was only going 72. Since I'd recorded the number of cable rotations in 1/100th mile, it seemed like a mistake on the part of the shop. So I called up Morris at WVI and explained the situation. He had me send the gauge back, and when I did so, he sai...

The Simple Stuff...Supposedly

Posted on: Tuesday June 30, 2009

There were a few little things that were keeping my MGB further from perfection, so I decided to address them. I noticed that the headlight switch was all the way on the right, next to the heater knobs, and the heater switch was on the left, the closest one in reach. Well, this clearly didn't make sense, so I decided to swap them. In theory, this was one of the simplest fixes to be done on the car. All there was to do was unscrew the trim rings around each switch, swap them through the back ...

It's Electric, Boogie Woogie Woogie!

During the winter I'd discovered what has become some of my favorite bedtime reading: the Moss catalog. I love catalogs in general (Oh SkyMall, you complete me!) so when I found one with page after page of MG parts and accessories, I was a pig in shit. I must say, the Moss catalog, with it's detailed illustrations, has been light years more helpful than the crappy Lindsey Porter MGB book I got on Amazon. Not only was I excited to find the catalog, but I was ecstatic to learn that Moss' headq...
