Not a prolific as you can see but I thought it was about time to ut my cars up. One of them has to go but I really cant decide which...........



Lowered the MGF and put fatter wheels on it in an attempt to stop in understeering....





As good as I think it looks, it still can't beat the grin factor on B roads of this:

OK, lets start again.











Lack of garage space means I have to het rid of one one of them - I really cant decide which.
Sadly, I really like the way the MG looks but you cant beat the MR2's grin factor for how much it costs.............decisions,decisions smile

PS, thanks for the help Vixpy.

Bumpetey Bump !!

Just thought I would post some piccys of my the MG looks now as I really couldn't bare to sell it after how much money I've poured on it. Also, gone is the MR2 Mk1a and replaced for a later (far better) T-Bar model.

How the MG looked 8 months ago:



A bit of EBaying later got me some much nicer 16'' Alloys and a Hard Top. (of which is scensoredt I hasten to add)



Some more Ebaying and Trophy 160 clear lenses, Alloys and Front Splitter leter it looked like this:
NB: The front number plate fell off wink



Same it pisses rain all over me when I drive even with the hardtop on, it is actually better to drive than I expected despite the slating it usually gets here.

The finishing touch: PistonHeads Vinyl



The 'new' MR2







Honestly, I love this car. My mates think I've got some severe visual impairment going on thinking this is cool but for £950 I really dont think there any more fun to be had with your trousers on. (Then again, I've never spent £2500 on hookers wink )

It's light, responsive, cheap to run and makes sure that I never get female attention............errr.... confused

.............Actually, I don't care as aroud the corner another open B Road beckons cloud9

It does however, have some things that need sorting like the red seatbelt pads, the silver sprayed windscreen wipers and generally binning most of the interior of which the previous owner thought would be a good idea to spray with a coat of red Halfrauds spray paint.

In all honesty my judgement of a car is somewhat limited by the amount I have driven in my relatively short time of car ownership, however few things make me more happy than the scream and burst of speed at 5,000 revs -It is simply addictive, it makes me wonder what a VTec of Lotus 111R must feel like...

This is my answer to all budget car related questions, it simply is perfect even more so IMO than the MX5 getmecoat
