Back in November we introduced you to Dick Moritz and Dale Spooner, the spearheads of the hearty project that set to document the rebuild process of an MGB engine on the MG Experience Forum. Once completed, the engine will then be auctioned off and its proceeds will go toward the Make-A-Wish Foundation®. We’ve been following…
This Moss Motoring Challenge was quite fun. This was our first year, we are not retired, and we live in the middle of Kansas. It was quite a challenge. The most memorable trip we made was to Western Kansas to get the letter Q. We were driving down I-70 when we saw a huge billboard…
A project that embodies both the tangible experience of automotive reconstruction and the humanitarian spirit behind car enthusiasm—that’s what Dale Spooner and Dick Moritz have set out to accomplish. Dale Spooner, owner of Motion Machine Inc. and a seasoned automotive machinist with experience in a range of engines (British and domestic, alike), and Dick Moritz,…
It was a gorgeous fall day in November, 2013. Perfect weather around 50 degrees. I was getting ready to help my parents ‘winterize’ their deck when I received a call that my best friend was close by in his 1975 MG Midget. I asked him to stop over to chit-chat for a short while and…
Earlier this year I bought myself a 1975 MGB for my 65th birthday. I have pleasant memories of owning a well-worn 1962 MG Midget and then a rusty 1954 Austin Healy 100 while I was in college. But why buy a 39 year old British sports car now? I had trouble articulating my reasons. I…
We would like to take a moment and thank you for all you do for the British motoring enthusiast community. Your level of customer service, product knowledge and online technical support have proven invaluable in completing our MGB restoration project. I wanted to support my 19-year old son’s desire to pursue a career in the…
It all started when my friend Chris let me drive his ’74 MGB a few years ago. I only drove it for a few miles but there was something about it that made me feel connected to the road and the machine I was sitting in. The steering took some effort as did the brake…
buh-loh-nee* 1. The result of spending way too much money in an attempt to make an old car look old. 2. A descriptive term used to deceive a potential buyer by creating an illusion of proper maintenance and care. 3. Justification for excessive cost related to owning a British car. British cars have a reputation…
About 33 years ago, Don Don Tonks wanted a Model A Ford. He came across a Morris Garage machine during that quest. Now 82 years old, Don has never owned a Model A, but he’s collected quite a few MGs. Some of the cars came to Don in boxes, while others came as rollers. While…
More tips! This is the technical tip issue for Bob’sGarage. I have a number of tips, some based on comments and suggestions, and others which were sent in by customers. They all have one thing in common. We haven’t had room for them in previous Moss Motorings, so I thought I’d lump them together in…
