drizzle here - but a BBQ for the club - got the car out, top up, drove around the block - realized the wipers didn't work - drove home, parked it and took the Kia.
(Only one classic car there - a Ford Zephr in basically as found condition - he had re done the interior but other than that the patina was there - it was great!)

Doug used a detailer on Onslow Friday. First thing Saturday morning local Jag Club caravanned Route 66 to a car museum and then glider museum in Moriarty NM. It was a tad toasty so top down was accompanied with A/C in operation. Had a great BBQ lunch at a place called Shorty’s. We passed on the glider museum because of the heat but decided we would do it on our own when it’s cooler.

Wish I could say took a nice relaxing drive, but nope couldn't do that. Seems sometime overnight Friday one of the springs on the garage door decided to operate in "split" mode. Needless to say, once it was no longer assisting with the door all I got to do was find out how really heavy a 16 foot garage door really is. Thought it would give me a hernia and didn't even budge. Well, at least it broke when the door was down rather than up...

Ordered replacement exhaust hangers. Both of them had failed.

JP, I hope your not talking about a British car! Wipers always work on them, well, -------------- most of the time, some of the time, they don't like to get wet! :highly_amused:

:lol:
MG TD wipers worked great - until it rained. Then they would short out when water ran down the shaft and into the motor. There was a small hand crank fitted and usually saw plenty of action - until your hand cramped. Some owners fitted French Marchal motors but they were always back-ordered and in short supply. Tom - how are yours working? Or don't you drive in the rain? Remember folks, these were our only cars back then, rain or shine, snow or what...

Years back, in the +2 going through some rain, my friend saw slow dripping from "top dead centre" of the windscreen and asked: "Do you know why Chapman didn't introduce the +2 until two years after the Elans?" To my "No, why?" reply, he explained: "It took the engineers a couple years to design in the leaks properly!"

That can't be true - leaks are a British speciality it shouldn't have taken more than 6 months.
I spent some time putting an exhaust system on my 1936 Morris 8. You can't buy a system in the USA, so I bought a cheap Morris Minor exhaust and cut all the bends out and repurposed them for the Morris 8. One more trial fit and I can start the engine! Oh year, I need to buy some gas to put in the tank first.

Beginning to think it is the switch - but got out to cruise night tonight - a lot of old MG Midget reminisce stories (and a 74 Honda 550four beside me with a driver not yet 25 - nice to see)
Hot here though
Oh and the most common line "it's smaller than I remember" - yes it is,
