MGFs...

Agreed, but we tried one out and interior space was a bit limited (ie knees touching steering wheel). But i think that may have been a dodgy wheel as one we looked at today looked much smaller. When (if...) we get the money we'll go out trying them properly then.

Bloody women changing their mind!

As the other Carl said, its Vamps old mk1 rust bucket :) Since its looks have been comprimised by a slight knock in a car park, depending on the outcome of the insurance claim i may convert it into my event car and get rid of the 205.

Only a complete psycho wringing the life out of a Volvo could keep up with Merlin...

That's 'cause you're GAY

He now has something...

FWD...

Honda...

VTEC...

:)

Hey - I'm thinking of getting something FWD, Honda and VTEC.

Can the Integra tow a caravan? :)

Riceboy!

In an FR-V :) ?

PS my charms appear to be working and she is coming back round to the idea of an MX5 or a Puma :) I'm sending her out tmrw to go look at a few whilst i'm at work

FR-V

My dad owned an MGF, watch for headgaskets and clutches at that kind of mileage.

LMAO

Dervy, you need an old-man's fake GT like mine

:)

Don't bother, the MX5 is a much better car, and doesn't have random headgasket issues. You get Jap reliability as standard.

The only thing MG/Rover cars have going for them, is the price. But MGFs aren't cheap...

MX5 and Puma are the choice of that class.

I'd have the Puma, cos it's more "normal". Cheap to run, cheap to fix. The

1.7 is the one to get - don't settle for less.

Are you wanting a good drive, for your four grand ? If so, take a look at a Pug 306 too. You oughtta be able to get a nice late car for that money, and the S16/GTi6 are a *real* nice drive. Both the XSi models are good if you're on a budget (120bhp 2.0 8v and 135bhp 2.0 16v).

etc. etc.

It's my wifes dream car if that helps.

You really should let her get more sleep. At least then she'd be able to have herself some decent dreams about proper cars!

1.7 is the ideal one, but she'd probably settle for any one if it came in the right colour!

I know all about 306s and suggested them but she wasnt interested (looks come way way above good drive), except maybe in a cabriolet. But you dont see many cheap ones about unfortunately.

They're not even close to being in the same 'class'.

One's a lovely little RWD sportscar, the other is a Fiesta in drag.
