The boy racer in me hasn’t died!
I’ve had to chuckle this week Ive had numerous dabbles
With modern stuff sitting right on my backside on the way home from work this week......I haven’t lost one sprint off yet!...why do people assume a 51 year old will let them take liberties with their tailgating?? I’m still a big kid
I’ve driven it hard and enjoyed myself,, I must slow down I’ll be getting some points at this rate!
Great seeing the look of dismay as that old mg blows there mundane daily away on the twisty bits

I like to do that in my Volvo s80 d5.It does 0-60 in 8.0 not bad for a bit old diesel. Raises a few eyebrows

As I said before when I owned a previous one
These are a great little car for summer motoring
Many people who have never owned one will tell you they destroy head gaskets drive badly etc
This is the third one I’ve owned and despite ribbing from my son and our mates, I can’t recommend them enough
The vvc 1800 is a lovely torquey engine, slick gearbox and handling is great
If anyone is looking for a cheap fun car as a second car look no further, get in quick though these will see a sharp rise in prices soon I predict!

Is it really five months since I put this away for the winter?
I feel guilty, so today I went and looked at it.......that’s as far as it got pouring with Rain yet again so I didn’t uncover it
I hope the weather changes soon the fun car needs to come out again

I’ve decided I need to go and get the mgf out of hibernation
It’s stored roughly a mile away from my house
So I’m hoping I can go and put the battery on it and bring it home , yes I know the lockdown rules but walk there start her up bring her home and give her some wake up work on my drive should be ok?

You can't beat a mid engine, rear drive, rag-top. I've got the Porsche variety. I guarantee neither of us is a hairdresser either 
They reckon the hydra-gas (?) suspension gives a much plusher ride than the later TF conventional suspension versions as well
Funny that the nay-sayers are usually people who have never driven or owned these sort of cars. If you believed the interweb you should have had a massive HG failure and my engine should have grenaded the first time i started it up through IMSB failure.
If you drive it at the moment take care. They're going to go hard on people out and about this weekend unless you've had to get something safety checked on the car , going shopping, checking on a vulnerable person etc.
