Peter Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) 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.

blakeyboy Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 How's the head gasket? My mate's Elise used to eat them, so he moved the thermostat, apparently.... Quote
Paddy Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 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! Quote
Stuntman Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 9 hours ago, Peckris said: Since when was the MG "mid-engined"? 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. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/mg-motor/tf-2002-2005 1 Quote
Peckris Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 Ah, it's one of the modern Chinese MGs! I don't class them as 'real' MGs... Quote
