Mg tf
After four years and pressure from wife, I've got the tf out of storage. After a couple of weeks of work and marinabrians soldering magic, the car now has an mot. We will use it until the winter bad weather sets in then it will be back in garage getting a new rear subframe. It will never be a mainstream vehicle as it's a keeper. I find I like working on it and also chasing down new parts. I'm getting everything spot on not really interested in what I've spent on it.

Mg f/tf
Wish I could get mine out, so far this year it has done 4 yards, possible 5 yards, that is twice out of the man cave, and twice back in. Hopefully might be able to get it out for a proper drive some time this year !!!
I have spent more time cleaning it than driving it Stu |

Pretty certain that could be said for all of your cars Stu. They always look pristine

Both the MGF and the XKR are in the Man Cave, have been cleaned at least three times (not washed, just polished and Waxed) and both of them have covers fitted as don't wont to get any dirt or dust on them, but I do turn over the engine for at least 20 minutes with all doors open I really do want to use the MGF this year, have owned it for over 14 years and only done around 4500 miles (30k on clock, and was 25 1/2k when I purchased it in 2006) but only if it remains dry outside Stu Last edited by Fusilier; 28th June 2020 at 20:39.. |

The Volvo lives outdoors, and is my daily driver, and the JZR, which I built over 20 years ago, and has no weather gear at all save a small windscreen, is admittedly garaged, but available for use, and is used, all year round. Getting them dirty gives me more excuse to get the lotions and potions out.....��

I’m afraid I’m a spanner man, would not be good at detailing. Having said that, I cleaned the under bonnet area today. Not taxing the tf until Wednesday, I cannot wait. Just bought a new second horn and sourced a S/h bracket and wiring plug. Will then have two horns, one low, one high. The silliness is both my wife and I, never use the horn!
