Having given up my first MGTF a few years back, defecting to an MX5
then a Mini (coz I changed jobs and don't do much more than city driving now)- I've now 'seen the light' and sold the Mini for another MGTF (a 2003 03 135 Sprint) I did enjoy driving the Mini, they are fun city cars - but every time I saw an F or TF on the road I felt quite envious. A couple of weeks ago, whilst off out with my OH (on a coastal run) we drove past a local garage with a super shiny blue 135 sprint and I made him stop for a quick looksee. Long story short - I went back the next day with my ickle Mini and struck a deal.
My new toy has had one owner - apparently an MG enthusiast (or so the garage chappie said). He has kept all records of work done and it has had a fsh, has done just under 58K and the bodywork is decent. Two new rear tyres in the last year, cambelt service completed and the roof, rear window are in really good nick. So I reckon the chap looked after it.
Had my first fun drive yesterday dropping DD off to Fakenham - roof down both ways and what a blast! Literally, note to self, must get a windstop.
I joined the MGF register last time round, so of course, have done again - coz there's a lot of useful info on this and the rover.org site. I'm already putting some pennies (ok pounds) aside, coz I know these cars need money spending and there are a few 'treats' I want to get.
The only question I have right now is can anyone recommend a decent garage in East Anglia (I live in Norwich) - someone who knows about MG's - so, as and when I need it serviced etc, I can go to a trustworthy and experienced place.
Ta muchly
