3. He has serious mental health issues. If that is the case he needs to address it as none of the ridicule is going to help him. Also it could descend into cruelty.

To me it's getting beyond the point of having any basis in reality to being embarrassing.

Is it time for a Mod to have a quiet word in his ear, as IMVHO it is not now showing the club to the casual observer in a good light.

Personally some of these posts have brought a good smile to my face. No harm no foul if you ask me.

Now, if somebody came on here being rude and disrespectful to our cars without any personal experience of them other than the rubbish and misinformation people often think of when MG/Rover spring to (narrow) minds.. Then I think we would have cause for concern.

But as it stands I'm certainly not offended by these posts in the slightest.

I've come to the conclusion, that either the level sensor is playing up, or I have a massive fuel leak?.. Maybe even 6 massive leaks, probably!?

Any ideas what's going on?

Try super glue on needle.

Or filling up with diesel. Cars running on diesel always get better fuel consumption.

I'm no expert on diesels but that seems a tad low.
Maybe needs some more work done on it

emapped computer chip to the ecu, boost charger remapped stage 6 engine system, 17" gun metal alloys, lexus lights with angel eyes to the front, boot front wind deflectors so this could be the reason
