brownnova Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 35 minutes ago, warren t claim said: I'm beginning to think that for a shiter who covers maybe 8000 miles a year a cheap MG6 may be a surprisingly sensible choice. Pay peanuts for a pretty quick, good handling well kitted car. Thoughts? Why. Are you thinking of selling one already? 😂😂 DeanH and cobblers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorniteIdentity Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 48 minutes ago, warren t claim said: Thoughts? That - at even £2k (seems to be about the cheapest) - it does nothing that something else wouldn’t do better at the same price. It doesn’t particularly have a party trick other than low entry price, but even those rakish good looks aren’t enough to tempt me when something consumable is going to take weeks to turn up from the Great Bunch of Lads. This is proper public service broadcasting here - God’s work.

Rod/b Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 On 02/01/2024 at 15:28, Split_Pin said: Most helpful. Anyway, I don't know what happened to the MG6's around my way. Frasers of Falkirk used to sell them which is 4 miles from where I live but I rarely see one now. I have always quite liked the look of them but the stories above regarding parts availability is repeated throughout the MG/Rover pages I use on Facebook. You’re welcome. It was something SAIC developed with (ie bought from) some Chinese company (probably called something like People’s Honourable Shining Keenwank Diesel Engine and Poison Gas Nursery Clothing Concern Limited) that was only ever fitted to the MG6 so, you know, good luck and all. warren t claim, Sheefag, mat_the_cat and 7 others 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_Q Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 They're quite a common size, I paid something like £90 a corner for Michelin PS4 for my Audi, I reckon ditchfinders should be achievable for £40 or so. Everything comes on 18,19 or 20 wheels nowadays so actually a 225/40/18 is like trying to buy a 205/55/16 in 2005. warren t claim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to work and put my entire short term financial future into an eight and a half year old MG6 and subject it to at least 1000 miles a week of pretty demanding taxi use. The things I do for you lot. I think I need to elaborate a little on this surprisingly well like comment. My E7 needs replating this month so along with my normal expenses, plus another £100 a week to rent the MG, I've also got to drag another £1500 out of the next few weeks. This MG is going to be seriously beaten hard. 812.2 miles covered so far. privatewire, EyesWeldedShut, Popsicle and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warren t claim Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 Yes I know we've been together for less than a week, and I do understand not to rush things in any new car relationship, but I do think that it's healthy for a man and car to be open with each other regarding needs and desires in the bedroom/garage. I totally understand that you all think that I'm rushing into things by taking her to a sex shop after only a few days but I want our relationship to be secure enough for there to be no shame in us sharing our deepest fantasies with one another.
