Summary
What does this car say about you?
I dislike boring, practical cars? ... I'm not a hairdresser.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
All liking it, had some hairdresser / MG bashing comments, but thats from people who drive things like Fiestas. Amazingly though, some friends who rip MG were really impressed with it.
Would you buy this car again and why?
I would. It works, does everything I need and puts a smile on my face.
What are you likely to buy next?
Will hopefully last me a few years yet but next car will probably have to be an estate.

No

£0

November 2011
Did you get a good deal and why?
Very good deal. Had only done 18k when I first got it, seller needed a quick sale which worked out very well for me.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Wanted an MGF when they first came out (I was 10) and again when the TF came out. Best looking two seater convertible.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Keeps you on your toes, gets a little twitchy on roads with different patches on tarmac. But it handles well, only had the back end step out once. Its just good fun.
What's it like to park?
Easy enough, though did reverse into a hedge when I picked it up.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Driver's window jumped off it's runner and the zip for the rear window snapped, not a big deal.
What's most practical about your car?
Considering its a two seater, with the engine in the back, the boot is massive. Managed to get my old housemate's monumental suitcase (fits the stereotype nicely) and my duffel bag in with room left over.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
SP2 - Sport suspension option and the option to go topless.
