ALSO GR8 4 BEING STOLEN Just realised everything here is 1.6 L spec. No cheap tax for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trigger Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I looked a couple of MGF's for the wife last year before i bought the Puma, what a crook of shite, One looked like it had been reshelled and the other looked like it had spent it's holidays deep sea diving, The test drive wasn't much better with a speedo that couldn't decide if i was doing 30 for 60, an exhaust that was gone and steering with a mind of it's own, and it had 'only' done 40k on a S reg.I walked.

The one I drove was 03 reg, crap ride, panel gaps you could fit your finger through, scuttle shake that rattled your fillings and the worst fitting hood I've ever seen, which is saying something as I've had a Herald droptop. My mate's MX5 is a hundred times better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Violet will SEE HIS ARSE when he reads that By the way the first dealers must be coming through now as a well known Reliant Scimitar specialist in Chester is selling the new Chinese ones now apparantly. Can't say I've seen hundreds of punters waving cash about in a queue outside just yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Taxi pack you say?I recall a bloke up the road having a Mk2 Granada he used as a taxi yonks back and when he damaged a door he moaned that the replacement from another saloon at a scrappy wasn't big enough.I remember questioning him over this as I always thought all Granada saloons would be the same. Anyone know if the taxis had slightly bigger doors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete-M Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 The Taxi was a standard shelled, Ãœber-base-model, normally diesel Mk2. The Taxi pack added the goodies listed above. Huge ashtrays, vinyl seats, radio suppressors and the like.If his doors were the wrong size, he either had major issues, or one of those weird Coleman Milne jobs.

Pete-M Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Fordthorne in Cardiff have a couple of new MGF's on the forecourt, I say new, the same ones have been there a few months already, nicely presented by being covered in seagull shit. They have now given up and taken down (or it fell down) the, no expense spared, MG banner that was tied on the front of the shed, sorry I mean showroomI followed a 58 plate MGF the other day. Did a double take at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reason is, I sold my 2.3L Granny to a fella from Bordon way who told me amongst the other 5 Mk2 Grandads he had was a light blue metallic 2.1D. What are the odds...
