Drove 450 MGF miles today from Ross-shire to Lincolnshire with the roof down...the only risk of getting wet was from an over exuberant windscreen washerer ahead of me. So that's a record roof down distance for me!

The other record, somewhat sadder, that despite seeing dozens of soft tops on the drive, not one of them was an MG. I can also confirm that MX5s suffer from SRF (softtop release failure).

I almost needed sunblock! Chilly though through the mountains.

Returned home last night. Total journey 6 miles shy of 1200 and nothing broke. I managed 1124 roof down miles and only put the hood up when hit by a heavy squall near the Drumochter pass (but managed to drop it again 40 miles later). Normally I feel knackered after the long drive home in the usual car but strangely I don't after driving the MGF - what else drives so well for so little money?

Added a picture on the drive from Lincolnshire to Norfolk...at this point after 700 miles the car still looked clean apart from all the dead flies.

Hi blow in
You had so much fresh air you could not possibly feel lack lustre after a drive like that :P
