Who buys an MGF/TF?

2 for me love my British cars, and over the last year i've become pretty much obsessed with Mg's so job done

Guess I fall in to class 2, have wanted an MG tourer T type since one passed me while I was driving my first car (ford 8 1932) in 1953 . having had company cars since then I never got around to owning one ,i now have an F/TF SUN STORM bought nearly new in 2006 with very low milage . With the hood down I live the dream of my youthfull days ,I absolutely love it , will never part with it , unless I prang it god forbid. :woohoo: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

The TF was chosen because it is an MG (well -ish, I'm prepared to stretch the Octagon to a car built at the Austin by a British company).
My first car in 1966 was a Ford 8, or the Y type as it was known, Mine was a 1936 one and was given to me as an MoT fail. They had rod brakes and my Dad told me how to set them up. It passed , i ran it for 6 months and sold it for £5, a trick never repeated. It was colossal fun, i think i learnt to live with then enjoy !a dab of oppo, well a lot of oppo in that car. usually doing nothing nore adventuruos than keeping up with with the 60s traffic
I think I started to like MGs then, my sisters boyfriend had a TD, a car with a lot of charisma.

errrr
people who have deep pockets and just like to throw money away


people who like to own a british car buys one then is declaired bankrupt after 2 years (nearly by the wife ) lol

or the car playes up so much you loose money as not being able to do your job then scalds your hand as if to say you anint fixing me then thats time to give up lol im on this one

4 .. No idea what I had bought until I got it home and joined a forum which helped a lot, but also had a few doom and gloom merchants on it :nonod:
Since then I have just modded and modded, a weird sense of satisfaction with each one, and I have been taught how to do a few things :thumbsup:

People who have a HUGE bank balance plus a happy carefree life and no longer want either :lol:

Sounds like you had a bad experience with your car then Mark. Although, clearly not all bad. But there is something which you all failed to mention.

Let's face it folks.. Lest ye forget. There aren't too many other global car communities like MG.
