Took the MGF to a show and lost it for an afternoon!

Hi all,

Thought you might like this.  It was my village feast celebration this past weekend and as part of it there's a classic car run, followed by all the cars parking up on the showground.  I was driving my Jaguar XJ-S and was let down last minute by the person who was planning to drive the MGF.  I posted the evening before on a parents WhatsApp group to see if anyone wanted to take it on the road run and sure enough one of the fathers of a child in my daughter's class volunteered.

The Jag and MG got a lot of admiring glances on the way round and also parked at the Feast:

But when it came to take the cars home late afternoon, the guy who drove the MG asked if he could borrow it a bit longer and return it that evening...  "No problem - knock yourself out" I said...

Turns out that he and his family spent a very happy afternoon with the car on the B Roads around Cambridgeshire and I eventually got it back at about 8 pm with quite a few miles added to the odometer and half a tank of fuel missing! They really enjoyed replacing their 7-seater with something a little more sporty for a day.

I bought the car to have fun with and I'd say that mission was achieved.

You Sir are a very generous and trusting man!
Glad you got it back in one piece.

Very generous of you. But what feast was the village celebrating? That looks like a nice MG to the left of the Jeep, its a pity that yours wasn't parked next to it.
