Great cars, I picked up my CDT Connie tourer about a month ago and love driving it, if only I could do it without adding the miles :lol:

Aha! Lol!! I had trouble with coming up to junctions and pressing the clutch, which turned out to be the brake!!

In the early days nearly got rear-ended on several occasions.

Tip, stick your left leg back under the seat for the first week or so. Then you will get used to it

Tis a problem tho when your other car is mg tf. Oh well the next few weeks should be interesting.

Problem?? What problem?

Sell the TF and get an auto version!!

Could never do that. The tf is great when the sun finally comes out and anyway you cannot have an auto tf. Same way as i had a diesel zr. Its just not right. I just wish i had kept my zs. A stable of my 75, tf and zs would have made me one very happy bunny.:lol:
