A few weeks ago, I nearly set fire to the Morgan.

After a short drive home, on our drive, the engine stalled. When I tried to start again, I couldn't hear the fuel pump so I checked the contacts on the pump (some years ago one of them was broken) and I then tried to switch the pump relay under the hood. When I took the relay out, the casing came loose and caused a short circuit. Luckily the wire, connecting the + between the relays, burned out.
After I replaced the wire and the relay, everything was all right.
At first it was pritty scary though.
