Back home after a one hour drive into the mountains. Tne engine developed a lower engine knock when the car was under load. Had "midge" towed back home, stored in the garage. Now to decide what to do once time permits.

It's ten seconds and counting ... We are almost packed,oiled up and ready to go... Severe thunderstorms last night with hail. Weather is supposed to be "nice" throughout the northwest over the next week. Sure hope we can drive with the top down.

Only 2 sleeps to go and we'll be off motoring through the Rockies via Banff - Kamloops - Hell's Gate - Abbotsford - Washington, Oregon Seacoast -Portland and back. (We just might pick up a companion for the Midget if all goes well.) It is a 67 GT that was advertised on the MG Trader forum here on MGB experience. Cool Eh? Anyway, It's time to bring on the next days' adventure.. must sleeeppp. Later...

One week to go and the final touches are being done to the midget. I had some maintenance needs that I haven't had time to address, so I let the guys at British Auto Specialists bring things up to speed. A front seal change, brake cylinder,shocks, fuel pump seal change, exhaust welds,wiring fixes. It's all set, except for a new crack in the rad.

We are celbrating Canada day here and the shops will be closed on Monday. This gives us 4 days to solve the rad problem before we go.We're hoping to have it repaired in time for the trip next week.

Oh well, if something will go wrong... let it happen now eh?

Anniversary Round Trip

My wife surprised me 3 yrs ago with the purchase of a 78 Midget. It happened to be our 25th wedding anniversary at the time and the car happened to be 25 yrs old. The irony.

She secretly drove the car 3/4's of the way home from Portland Ore.(where she purchased it) to Spokane Wa.
She was intending to hide it at a good friends' place until our anniversary in Jan. (I happened to be away on a trip to Illinois at the same time.)

When I returned home she was peculiarily tanned from the arms up and told me that she had a surprize for me.Within an hour of coaxing and prying, she spilled the good news. We returned to Spokane the following weekend and drove "Gidget" home. Bliss ever since.

3 yrs later, after updating the engine and a complete going over on the brakes,tires,new interior etc., we will be returning to Portland to reminisce. More posts to come ...
