The MG got lots of admiring glances last night, sadly from a man with an Astra with blue flashing lights. Luckily he couldn't believe that a Rover with a bodykit could exceed 45mph and therefore he must of daydreamed me making progress and decided not to ticket me. What a jolly lovely fellow.

I do indeed. It's ticking along nicely doing a sterling job as a daily and parts hauler although it could do with a clean inside and out.

To be honest the longer I have it, the more I enjoy it.

EFA

To be honest the longer I have it, the more I am attracted to stringback gloves and Werthers.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

9 months, 16,000 miles and I'm making a call to Houston with some troubling news.










No, it's not the headgasket!!!!!!!!! Clutch is strarting to slip in 5th. I knew it would happen eventually as it's on nearly 130K and the original clutch. I'd rather it went now then when pulling the Golf or MX5 on a trailer and ruining a trackday. Looks like I'll have to get the spanners out in Jan and sort it.

Yeah it's not too bad. £150ish for the bits plus a day of swearing.
