Well done Dan. Can't beat a run out topless, car that is, in the spring sunshine. In fact I would say I prefer driving top down on bright spring and autumn days. At the height of the summer it can be just too warm. Mind you those days can be few and far between especially ii Northern Ireland.

We were out today in the Golden Shot, no-where in particular, top down, heater melting the feet. Lovely.

I had a short spin in my 9-3 vert this morning when the sun came out for about 30 mins. I'll be putting it up for sale soon as I'm struggling with the clutch with my crocked leg. Mind you there's one for sale here with an auto box and only 65k on the clock so could be tempted if mine sells. I'll be reviewing what will be happening with the Rover after its MOT in May but being realistic I need an auto. Something always has to be culled Dan to scratch an itch. Keeps things interesting.

Culling can be hard peter, I'd never sell my W202 George's escort is going nowhere ,the wife has her modern fiesta thing, So the mgf would be the one to go, but I may keep it until the summer comes....unless a deal with one of the above in auto comes up!!

Looking good, can't go much wrong with an auto 75 or even ZT either.
Liking the modern MG love going around recently, fancying a TF myself. Wonder how much work it would be to put an M47 diesel in one..

Wonder how much work it would be to put an M47 diesel in one.. Someone has done a diesel F but I can't remember if it was an L or M47 unit. Bit of a boat anchor from what I recall...

Clattered a pheasant the other day at speed - fubared the front numberplate, pushed in the lower grille and looks like its split the paint off the front bumper. Didn't do the pheasant much good either...

I know if I sell it before the summer l will regret it So I've hatched a plan it's going down to our caravan this weekend and staying there, that way I'll enjoy it a weekends and have more room at home to work on our other cars, it'll be safe down there it's a haven site with very good security so it'll be safe

Get yourself a cover ,at least for the hood, to keep the elements at bay when its parked up. MGF hoods aren't bad but water does eventually work its way in.

The mgf has sat at our caravan doing nothing for a few weeks A pang of guilt came over me as it was filthy dirty and sill deep in weeds I gave it a good clean, replaced the badges with some eBay purchased new inserts Replaced the pedal rubbers and cleaned the seats up after mould had grown on them! I have one new tyre to go on, one more to buy then it'll be off for an mot Will probably keep it now all summer, it's a good tidy car but worth peanuts, surely that will change I'm sure

Funny I've been watching a few local ones on Gumtree and even with the brilliant weather very few are selling. I've been tempted to go and look at one a few miles away but still haven't managed to build up the enthusiasm.

There so cheap peter, strange because I've found them to be great fun and if you view carefully a good solid car can be had for less than £700, I'm sure prices will rise...probably after I've sold mine!
