MG TF. Possible purchace complete with TADTS

[TRW]

Is it possible to have a prefix tag for stupid idiots with brand loyalty? Yes? No?

Oh well, I guess I'm the poster boy for it lol.

 

 

It was a lovely sunny day driving into the centre of Swansea, the birds were singing happily on the sweetly budding branches and the sun was beaming off the (slightly dusty) dashboard of our daily MG ZS. Life was good and I was in a good mood on that Monday morning. Until I passed the corner and saw a FIRM hero in distress.......

 

A TF outside a local college with steam billowing from the engine cover. Having a good look as I went past I could see the female owner looking distraught, and as a fellow licker I felt it my duty to offer a hand. Continuing to the mini roundabout and doubling back I was at the scene of the crime. Not that it would be hard to miss, the trail of coolant along the road was like a tow rope leading me to the victim chalked in coolant.

 

Alongside the victim was a stricken owner and 4 college students (female, hair and beauty learners) I pulled up beside our fallen hero. A quick chat with the owner about what happened "It went bang and then stopped" and me explaining that I am a SERIAL LICKER and learn't my trade on BL shite I pointed out that we couldn't leave the car there. So, with the help of myself and the 4 students (who were all Fuckfacing or whatever on their iphones) we pushed the car up past the junction of the college to a safe spot off the main flow of traffic out of Swansea.

 

Whilst South Wales Police sailed by in their new Peugeot estate without two Fucks Given. Cheers then.

 

After a chat with the owner and offering her my mobile to call her husband, no need as AA were on their way I asked about the car.......

 

Turns out that it is used as a second car and they don't need two cars as the husband is retired. They have a new car and the MG was used every now and again. They were thinking of downsizing to one car and then this happened.

 

I left my number should the owner and her husband decide to get rid of the car, but it would be worth repairing in my eyes.

 

 

 

 

Friday morning I get a text from the owner, they have decided to get rid of the car. A phone conversation later.......



I look at it on Monday afternoon in a garage a few miles from where I live.

What have I done!



P.S

I only turned the car around because MG, not because of the female owner in her 60's or students. JUST WANT TO GET THAT OUT THERE AS THIS IS A OPEN BOARD AND MRS TRW CAN SEE THIS.

Thanks - Mr TRW, age mid 30.

The rules about associating with a group of women involves averaging their ages out. One 60 and four assumed 18 year olds works out to be 27. You're fine.

 

Aaaaaanyway. Never mind looking, when are you collecting it?

Like a shitter needs the extra hassle of explaining women. I've a bad enough job of explaining the spares bought for the Montego. And whats in the garage.

 

If I buy it, Jesus help me. Taking it back home on a twine of such a state I would be envious of the belt Worzel Gummidge wore.

 

On the opposite end of said twine would be OLD MAN TRW and his 1997 Freelander L series.............Fuck.

 

Expect my first ever collection thread....It can only go better that the last time I had him move a car for me*

Welcome to the dark side. 

[purplebargeken]

Prob a coolant pipe that went pop. Hopefully they stopped and turned off as soon as. 

[DodgeRover]

Personally I would say you were just being a gentleman by going back to buy the car help the lady in distress and hope somebody would do the same for the wife/ mum/ sister etc

[TRW]

No collection thread as my stress levels were last seen going STRATOSPHERIC, not helped by OLD MAN TRW driving to collect it at 15 fucking miles an hour....

 

At 9 am I could have paid £100 for it, I paid £350 at 2 pm in the afternoon. Also, common courtesy is dead it would seem 

 

 

 

 

Just have to find somewhere to store the bloody thing now.

 

[Daviedv]

I have one of these and live just outside swansea, if you need a shoulder to cry on etc. Looks nice though.

[Aston Martin]

That looks fantastic, can’t you make most of the money back selling the hardtop?

[scaryoldcortina]

Stainless coolant pipes and sort the HG, it'll be fine. I've put 10k on mine now and it still hasn't gone bang.

[davehedgehog31]

Lovely jubbly.

Sounds like a Mega bargain at £100, but still a bargain at £350.

 

Why the £250 increase????

[loserone]

I need one of these in my life

It was in a local garage and had to be moved due to lack of space. So instead of calling me the owner gave it over to a local metal yard. I know its her car to do whatever she wishes, but a call would have been nice.

 

The £250 increase came from the breaker putting his mark up on it. The guy admitted how much he'd paid for it as he knew I wanted it.
