MGF/TF - your only car?

My daily drive is my F, but Karen also has a Peugot 106 Independence as well...

Blue Belle is my one and only car

My MGF was purchased as a runaround, following us buying a Mazda Bongo small Campervan. That's so heavy on fuel that I couldn't justify using on a daily basis.

I also had a Yamaha FZ6 bike but that was sold to fund the 'F' purchase as I could use that everyday even when it rains!

The MGF is the second car here, but I have to say I think I will use it more than I first thought. Main car is the very practical Suzuki Swift. An excellent little car considering the purchase price. I also have a Suzuki SV650s bike for a little bit of speed and fun but I feel that the MG may well take it's place in my heart. As you can see I like a little variety! :bye:

So far my TF has absorbed 2 of my motorbikes and the KTM is now looking a little nervous, but I have promised her she is safe.

I've also got a mountain bike.............not sure if that counts.:dunno:

My daily runner is a focus, I've had it for nearly 3 years and its never... ever gone wrong mechanically. I would definately recommend it as a companion for an F/TF. Although the F does seem to get better MPG!

Couldn't agree more. Although my Focus seems to get less than 28mpg for some reason.

You know for the manager of Halfords that Ford does not nearly have enough bling on it!

I'm just pondering the idea if we get these jobs of getting a more reliable car for getting to & from work. I'm torn at the moment between getting a R200 or a ZR, or ZT. :dunno:

I have always liked the ZR and seriously considered getting one when they first came out. I like the ZT as well, bigger car though if you need the space. Then there is the ZS - I love the face lift model especially the 180 with the V6 engine and that fab bodykit.

I use the TF as my main car and my wife has a 2005 Freelander TD4 (same engine as in the diesel ZT) so we tend to use that for family runs when the kids are with us - and its great in this bad weather.

I still have the MGF that I used as my main car for almost 2 and a half years, now 10 years old with over 100k on the clock but very reliable. I hope to get it back on the road this summer:)

The F is not our only car but it is my main car which I drive daily, I also have a 1969 MGB Roadster which I am restoring, very very slowly and Kelli has a 2007 Nissan X-trail which she drives everyday
