My MGTF

[Peter 615]

It has been nestling in the garage for the last 3 years...going for the MOT on Wednesday after a complete oil and fluid transfusion.My mother (84 yrs old)has just got out of Papworth after a triple bypass....she wants to do the fast shopping trip again....I'm not trying to kill her off....honestly.

My MG is an immaculate  Ltd edition Cool Blue and my 22&20 yr old daughters have suddenly taken a greater interest in Dad.

May I just say the NHS Doctors/Nurses and ancillary workers are the Dogs Bollox.

PS We managed to get her into a convalescence home for a couple of weeks,she has made new friends and the smile is back.

The old boot buys me a coin at Xmas and my birthday...great Mum.

Great to hear that your Mum's doing well

Indeed.  Hope you also enjoy getting reacquainted with the joys of mid-engined, rear wheel drive sportscar motoring (can you tell I am also a fan??)

Since when was the MG "mid-engined"?

How's the head gasket?

My mate's Elise used to eat them, so he moved the thermostat, apparently....

The only MG I ever drove was an MGTC - belonged to a fellow officer when I was in the army. He drove to the pub and after 3 pints insisted I drove home. Most terrifying and exhilarating driving experience of my life!

The MGTF, and its MGF predecessor, have always been mid-engined.  The engine is in the middle, behind the driver but ahead of the rear axle.  It isn't front-engined like most (all?) other MGs.

Ah, it's one of the modern Chinese MGs! I don't class them as 'real' MGs...

Mine was brought up in Coventry 03 REG.

Chasing cars....if I could have another day with Mrs Peter I bloody would.

This brings me to tears.
