Hi Guys,
Just wondered if any of you are still here, last post recorded on 9 Jun 07???
I still have the MGF, the old girl is 10 next month and needs some sprucing up, a few rust patches appearing on the rear quarters where the bumper attaches and on the base of the passenger door and on the edges of the air intakes from stone chips and around the boot brakelight housing but the engine is still going 104K.
Going in for MOT tomorrow, so fingers crossed.
Our first baby is due next month but I get to keep the MG because the wife wants her car changing as it is 12 next month, solid Honda Civic, never had a problem with it in 12 years apart from, brakes, tyres and exhausts, oh and a new dizzy cap. It has only had 2 sets of plugs too, absolutely bullet proof car, I will be sad to see it go, never the less it will be replaced by another Honda Civic.
The MG will become a hobby to keep it running, never kept a car for myself so long in my whole life, a sign of the enjoyment it brings and it is used every day, in all weathers not just a summer runaround. I think I might treat it to a respray in the summer if I can sort out the rust problems.
belated New Year Wishes to all.
regards
Chris
