JB - Bought another MG

[justinbaker]

I was trawling autotrader for a bargain again, and spotted a VVC 1997 MGF with a head gasket problem. Had a chat to the chap this morning, and I am to collect it Monday morning from Stevanage. Anyone fancy driving me to Stevanage Monday?



Also the black MGB-Roadster Stephanie is using, it would be good to keep it for a short while rather than sell it straight away, so after Blipi has finished with it, if anyone wants its use then feel free to ask. (All I ask is that its oils and water is checked). They need using, so its good for it.

Nooooooooo MX5 is the way to go


please take the roof off from time to time, I see too many of these modern MG's with roofs up


oooh nice interior, mines like that, its black with the seats and trim done in a cream leather, looks groovy, is that standard?

The MGB is a good laugh!

The MGF is a nice motor but has it's known problems and can be a bit gutless. Quite pretty though and no doubt bought at a good price JB!

Sorry I can't help with collection unless it was in the evening. Where are you going to keep it?!

Looks like a good one JB.

Can't help during the day but could assist in the evening.

Thought about an MGF but decided I couldn't be bothered to train as a hairdresser so I bought the TVR and a chest wig instead!

Well after arranging the gasket, a lift and extracting monies, I find out at 9:15 this morning, that while he was away his wife thought it would be a nice supprise to sell the car. Shrug it off! Onto the next...

[pupp]

Talking of Ebay JB, you ever get any interest on those Lancia bits?

[justinbaker]

Yes, they didnt sell at all well. Better than letting them go to waste.
A Spanish chap bid o the lot for about £80 if I remeber.
