We’re all set up today at Dayton British Car Day!

There are well over 200 beautiful British cars on the field—everything from MGs and Triumphs to Jaguars and Minis. The weather’s perfect, and the show field looks incredible.

We’ve already run into a few folks who watch us on Jack Classics, and we’re hoping to meet even more of you while we’re here. Come say hi if you see us!

All set up at the Arthritis Foundation Charity Auto Show in Dublin, OH this morning!
The weatherman says the rain is holding off until after 6PM, so it’s shaping up to be a great day to check out over 1,000 cars of all makes and models.
Come out and enjoy the show on the beautiful grounds of Metro Place — and if you’ve got a cool ride, bring it out and join the fun. We’d love to see you here!

We’re out at British Car Day Columbus at Quaker Steak & L**e!

Plenty of sunshine and even more British iron — MGs, Triumphs, Morgans, Minis, Austin Healeys, Jaguars, and more filling the field.

Great conversations, great people, and an even greater community to be a part of. Couldn’t ask for a better day to celebrate these classics!

We’re out enjoying a beautiful backroads cruise led by Buckeye Triumphs as part of the Columbus British Car Day weekend. The route winds through scenic roads north of Columbus and ends at the always-enjoyable Henmick Farm & Brewery.

We’re in great company — joined by a fleet of Triumphs, MGs, Austins, Minis, and even a few British motorcycles.
Can’t beat good weather, great roads, and a parking lot full of classics!

We scored big last week!! Picked up a full truckload of shop equipment (yes, there's even more under the tonneau and in the backseat!) in one awesome deal to help level up the fabrication side of Bald Spot Garage. We've got a full video dropping tomorrow where we walk you through everything we got that we needed, and maybe a few things we didn't know we needed! Stay Tuned!

After we hosted the Central Ohio British Car Council Oil Change Day at our shop, I looked on Amazon at the Valvoline VR1 that we, and so many other LBC owners use. It is on sale right now for $32.36 for a 6 qt case... That is $5.40 a qt !! That is about as good of a price as you will find on it anywhere. The 5 qt jugs are $26.97 right now too (works out to the same price per qt) I don't know how much longer the sale will last, so don't wait too long if you want to take advantage of the deal.

Below I will provide a link to each

Great turnout so far for British Oil Change Day—even with the classic British weather making an appearance! We’re honored to carry on Bill Blake’s annual tradition here at Rob Meier’s shop in Croton, and the spirit of the day is alive and well.

Whether your little British car needs an oil change or not, come hang out with fellow enthusiasts, swap stories, and enjoy the great conversations happening in the shop. We’ll be here until around 2 p.m.—hope to see you!

The Green Phoenix is back in the shop and getting a little love.

Our 1979 MGB, The Green Phoenix, that we saved from getting scrapped is finally back in the shop…well at least for the long weekend. We had her to a couple...

A number of years ago I upgraded my 1974 MGBGT Autocrosser from an overdrive transmission to the Rivergate 5-speed conversion using a Datsun 280z 5-speed tra...
