Another site on my blog roll…

I’m going to add another site to my “blogroll” today, namely The RPM Blog.

RPM is a noted restoration shop in Vergennes, Vermont. I have gotten to know the Markowskis through my participation in several of Rich & Jean Taylor’s Vintage Rallies, where the big black RPM truck & trailer serve as ‘sweep’ vehicle. Steve & Eben from RPM saved our butts during the New England 2000 by fishing a clutch hinge pin from the bell housing and replacing it in-situ using surgical tools(!) This was accomplished overnight and the car ran fine for many years afterwards!

RPM has built a reputation for excellence over the years, and Peter & Stephan are great guys. Being so far away it is unlikely I would ever have the opportunity to do business with them, but if you are in New England and need service I’d highly recommend them.

I have their blog in my RSS feed because they often have unique and interesting machines in the shop and document their projects there. At the moment they are dealing with one of those legendary dream cars… a Miura. Go have a look.
