Old Sturbridge Village

Posted on by Ian C.

After MINIs and ice cream last weekend, Margaret & I went to Old Sturbridge Village since we were in the area (see here for our previous visit in 2004) …


I think I prefer Beamish Museum … maybe I’m more used to it, but Beamish is set nearer “now” and so has more technology (trains, the accounting system in the Co-Operative store, etc). On the other hand you don’t see real live cow milking, wool dyeing, etc in Beamish!

Jason gets an ’07 MCS

Posted on by Ian C.

MINI friend Jason has owned an early build VR MC since 2002 – he has more than 110,000 miles on that car and tracks it regularly. Unfortunately he recently tracked it just a little bit too hard and it suffered, leaving it currently un-driveable.
Since it was his daily driver too, Jason urgently needed a new car and thankfully stayed in the MINI family, buying this ’07 MCS ex-demo car from MINI of Peabody:

 

Congratulations, Jason!
