Ready for the Ice Breaker 07



The first race meeting of the year for the classics is the Ice Breaker @ Puke 15-16 September.

After our DNF back in March the MG has pretty much sat there waiting for some attention. Linz came around yesterday and gave me a much needed kick start and we ripped into it. The problem that caused the DNF was a flat battery causing the fuel pump to falter... the ultimate culprit was a wire the wrong way around on the alternator. I must point out this was done BEFORE we got the car. We purchased some AVGas from the North Shore Aero Club, visited Supercheap for some bits then had lunch at a cafe in Albany. Great day.............


ROLL ON PUKE!!

Zach...Car Guy











Zach came over to play last nite. It looks like my brainwashing is finally paying off, at 18 months the boy's number 2 word is "car"... NO!!! is still number 1 and is usual delivered loud and clear accompanied by a stern frown. "WOW Cool" is the newest expression. I was knackered by the end of the day after numerous trips down stairs to the garage where Zach would pat whichever car he wanted to get into then hold his arms up to be lifted into the drivers seat where he investigated every switch and knob.
I have several model cars in display cabinets in my Boy's Room, Zach would love to get his hands on them but it aint going to happen no matter how often he says "WOW Cool".
