Hi Oz great to see you (almost!) back ;D There are some real bargains to be had at the moment, have you any particular colour in mind and how far are you willing to travel? What kind of budget are you thinking of and how much work are you prepared to do on the right-priced base model? Andy's always trawling ebay for bargains and there are definitely bargains at times  |

Well I'm back home after seven hours of driving covering about 450 mls only to find that the TF has had a front end crash repair & not a very good one at that.It all looked good from the out side but when I took it for a run I stoped at another garage & put it up on
His lift & the bodges were plane to see.So I'm Still looking.

Sorry to hear it was a wasted journey. We had quite a few false trips before we finally found ours.
Keep looking and if we hear of anything good we will let you know.
Btw- have you tried looking on face book there are several MGF pages for clubs and spares and there is often cars for sale.

Sorry to hear you had a wasted journey, so frustrating when things aren't as advertised, specially when they're a 450 mile round trip away  I guess it's good that you found it was no good before buying though, rather than finding out afterwards. |

Fantastic news Oz  Would love to see some pics of it posted on here once you've taken some. Is ignition blue the one that's similar to trophy blue? Or light blue? Did it feel like coming home when you were driving it back after buying? |

Hi jan,yes it was a strange feeling driving it home its been to long driving a euro box. Ignition blue is a bit like trophy blue with a hint of purple can't work out how to post pictures from my phone.Im off to the shop for some milk now,we don't need any but it's a 40 minute round trip to the shop from here and its the best excuse i can think of to go for a drive.

Haha hope you had a nice trip for the milk!  I've not accessed the forum from my phone, I'll have to try it and see if I can figure out how best to add photos. Hopefully you'll be able to make the run, be great to see you and the new addition. |
