I'm away for a week.

[Chris Perkins]

I'm leaving for England tomorrow morning to do the radio thing (friday) etc. I'll be gone until Tuesday next.

For the first time in nearly 3 years I'll actually be staying in my own house, as it's awaiting new tenants at the moment, and I need to spend a little time decorating it with the old man.

And I'll get to bomb around a bit in the TR7 too, which now has a new MOT and polyeurathane bushes on the front suspension (among other upgrades that dad has organised since it got home last month).

So, 'Bis später', as they say in these parts.

Have a great break Chris....We're off to Devon in early August.....CAN'T WAIT.

Honest opinion on the MGF.....as good as the MAZDA/Toyota?

When things settle down I need a performance ...at the moment Lotus....or a 100+ BHP motorcycle....can't be havin

this mid life chrisis...or upsetting Mrs PETER...too expensive.

I've never driven the Mazda/Toyota equivalents so I can't compare.

It's an attractive fun car that goes really well (although a British registered Elise left me standing in the Czech Republic last week). It's great with the roof down.

I must admit though, I thought I'd go right off the TR7 after picking up the MG, but I still really like the TR for some reason. On paper it's less powerful and should be slower, but it actually doesn't really seem to notice too much on the road.

I like the TR because it's retro, was controversial, it's unusual and I just like it.

Corsa all the way
