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.

New Paint, New Trip, :)

Posted on: Tuesday August 24, 2010

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 w...

Summer Update..

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 s...

All Set For The Radium Brits Best Show.

Posted on: Friday June 4, 2010

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...
