Five Reasons To Check Out The Vaults presents Sounds and Sorcery celebrating Disney Fantasia #LDNTheatreBloggers @theatreblogrt
Sounds and Sorcery has taken over every aspect of The Vaults down in Waterloo. A celebration of the 1940s film Fantasia, the immersive theatrical experience has the audience in the centre of the stories, accompanied by a pair of headphones and an audio player that you keep with you throughout the production. This was my first experience being at an immersive production and it was a great one to…

Reader Doug Foster recently sent me an email telling me about his car.
I still own the first car I ever bought (while in college 1971): A 1969 Primrose MGB. Currently has 72k original miles and over the last few years have cleaned her up and rebuilt the motor. She is virtually the same now as when she left the factory – no reproduction parts! She won second place in the Forest Grove Concours last year…
Recently my wife and I fell in love with MG Magnettes and purchased a 1958 ZB Varitone that is in great condition.
Robert A. Mac Millan of Salem, Oregon bought the car new on May 29, 1969. Doug purchased the car in 1971 from Robert while Doug was completing college. He drove it daily for several years and frequently entered various time speed distance rallies, an occasional auto-cross, and the British Field Meets.
After a few years, it was driven only on nice days in Portland. In 2009, Doug had the car exterior repainted the original color and new leather seats fabricated identical to the originals. Doug removed the engine and transmission in November 2013 as it needed updated valve seats and guides installed. The machine shop ended up rebuilding the engine.
While it was out, Doug removed all the components under the bonnet and had the engine compartment re-painted to match the newer exterior paint. The only ‘reproduction’ parts are internal engine parts. Cleaning up all the original parts took more time than expected, but now (July 2015) she appears just as she did when you left the dealership in Salem only the original odometer now reads 71,XXX miles.

MOONLAND by Doug Foster We all live in MOONLAND. The gravitational pull of the Moon creates tides in the Earth's oceans and distorts the Earth's crust. It was instrumental in the evolutionary journey of life from the sea to the land. The reproductive cycles of many flora and fauna still follow the rhythms of the Moon.
