Was visiting a friend in Tucson when he said, "I've got to go out of town and please take my Morgan in the Car Rally this weekend." I did and the rest is history, I was bitten with the bug. Bought a '76B sight unseen on eBay in August 2008 and got it shipped up to the border where I jumped in and drove it the rest of the way. No working electrics, seat not bolted in, exhaust hanging off and not much in the brake department. Much banging and cursing later, she re-emerged in October of 2009 as she appears now. Oh the lessons I've learned.

And That Was 2011

Posted on: Saturday November 12, 2011

Well it's been a few months since I last made an entry and the car went to bed on Halloween so I have no more excuses. The odometer registered 8,928 miles for this season. Not a single breakdown. There were a couple of near misses with loosing all of my gearbox oil and having the driveshaft work loose but those were stupid human errors. The car covered up for me amazingly well. She garnered a 3rd in Class at MG2011 and then got a 3rd in a 200 mile Time, Speed and Distance Rallye run by ...

Authorized direction photo at Bonneville

With number one son now in the co-driver’s seat for the trip home,, we pulled out of Reno on a bright Friday morning enroute to Wendover, a town right on the Nevada/Utah border and home to the Bonneville Salt Flats. After an uneventful Interstate run to Wendover and a couple of Provo Girl beers at our overnight stop,, we pulled out on Saturday with a planned stop at the Bonneville International Speedway. When we got to the Speedway, we were met by a uniformed Sheriff’s Deputy and a coupl...

Rallye To Reno & MG2011

Posted on: Tuesday July 26, 2011

June 4th - "Being in all respects ready for sea....." the car was loaded and self and number two son headed out to catch up with the Rallye on US50 at Chillicothe, OH. Our route would take us through New York and Pennsylvania and down to Chillicothe where we would pick up Highway 50 and run up to Newport, KY/Cincinnati, OH, the Rallye's second night stop. At our first overnight in Franklin, PA, fate intervened as we were later to discover that the re-used lockwashers on the overdrive sump ha...

Getting Ready For Reno

Posted on: Monday May 9, 2011

Got the car out of storage on March 31st and started the projects to get the car ready for Reno. Pulled the heater valve and replaced it with a "Lowe's" special. While the system was drained,, took the rad in to a local shop and had it flushed and tested and had them install a drain cock. Pulled the mechanical fan and installed a 10 inch thermostatic electric pusher. Powered the whole works from a new relay. Installed an oil cooler and this does seem to make a positive difference in oi...
