Cara Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 Well, here is the new mega smart, mega expensive, mega fast, ahem, addition to the family.....!! How sad am I, cleaned it today.... IN THE RAIN!!! I like it Quote
nixy Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 Love it! I want one for dirty days - you should see my poor baby - thick thick muck! Quote
Cara Posted November 6, 2009 Author Posted November 6, 2009 Exactly Nic! And can take it to the shops and - heaven forbid - don't have to park miles away so that I practically need a bus to take me to the front door! Thought I'd be shot down for this hehe Winter is fast approaching, runabout rules, you know you want to! Quote
Husky Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 wish i had a scrap mobile tbh, like you say those walks are doing my nut it the one from the furthest away work carpark is a chore, i could be 30sec from the door but instead i park a 8 min walk accross site Quote
Cara Posted November 6, 2009 Author Posted November 6, 2009 i so do want to! It really does make sense - saves on the petrol bills too! wish i had a scrap mobile tbh, like you say those walks are doing my nut it the one from the furthest away work carpark is a chore, i could be 30sec from the door but instead i park a 8 min walk accross site Scrap mobile?? How very dare you!! It's actually pretty smart and been well kept, I have taste! But I'll let you off for once and won't argue, I know what you mean A runabout is definitely what you need too, can park it anywhere and not give a sh!t. Perfect. I always end up parking miles away in the Z too. Quote

What Husky meant is, he's very jealous he doesn't have a daily driver, so his Zeddy doesn't get messed up. Didn't you Husky. Cute little run about. Bonus of only using half the petrol of the Zed, or probably less. Quote

Cara Posted November 7, 2009 Author Posted November 7, 2009 I'm winding you up! Cheers Immy, tis rather cute And as you say, should save a fortune on petrol! It's actually not bad for a wee car, about 120bhp as standard. Quote
Husky Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 I'm winding you up! easily done at this time :bleh: i used to commute every other day in my mates one, little racing machine it was seats are soooo comfy though Quote
Cara Posted November 7, 2009 Author Posted November 7, 2009 I'm really surprised at the 'oomph' it has, and definitely seems comfy! Only got it on Thursday. No doubt going to have all the local boy racers trying to race me Quote
Stew Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 VTS???? Awesome! 120bhp 1.6 16V! I lusted after one in the days I had a VTR. They are rapid and have fantastic handling. Superb choice! Quote

Correct Stew, VTS I took it out for it's first proper run today out Westhill way actually, and I'm really quite surprised at how quick it is - it's so light. I'm liking it! Quote
Husky Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 i got embarrased by one a few years back when i had my mitsi gto was damn nippy in the corners Quote
stanski Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 Never mind that Cara whats the MBG GT about ?? or is it a Midget?? Quote
Cara Posted November 7, 2009 Author Posted November 7, 2009 Ok Stan I am seriously impressed!! You could spot that from a teeny tiny corner?! It's a Midget My OH's current project. I will see if i can find a pic for you. Quote
bronzee Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Loving the high tech MG brakes Cara. It's got a lot of potential. Oh, very clever to find a little daily, that's even almost a Zed colour. my zeddy IS getting messed up being a daily driver the list is long You'll have to stop molting in the car. Quote

zedwagon Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Looks good cara. Stan has now unfortunately put himself on a forum fast while he works on the nursery but I'll point him in this direction when he's back on ! We have a similar project in the garage , oh and another at the front of the house ! Glad to see you back-did you get your job sorted? Quote
Cara Posted November 8, 2009 Author Posted November 8, 2009 Wow Lucy, I assume that you two are having an extra special addition of your own?! Jeez I've missed everything! Huge congratulations! Ive just finished in my previous job and now on the lookout for something new, hopefully something will turn up soon - although i have to admit this lady of leisure lark is rather fun Quote
stanski Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Here you go Stan, just for you: Hi Cara - back (after only 3 days forum fast! ) Thanks for the pics - tell hubby to save time and effort and just a brand new reshell and hang the old bits off it - save him about 3years of his life doing it! Looks good actually has he been putting 2 pence pieces in the door jams while he welds the hinge back on to get the alignment! Nice project for him then and lots of tuning potential with that engine - also I see its the lovely chrome bumper model pre that ugly rubber bumper one they had to do for the states - (sorry shutting up now - just tipping the dandruff out of my anorak!) good luck with it and your next job etc - welcome back to the forum Quote
Stew Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Both the MGB and Midget are great designs! Still look good today! I'll maybe come round sometime to distract Doug from doing it! Quote
Cara Posted November 10, 2009 Author Posted November 10, 2009 Stan, the knowledge you seem to have here is amazing, I still can't believe you spotted the car from a teeny corner of the pic I shall pass on your comments, cheers You're right, it'll no doubt take years, but to be honest I think that the long-term project is an attraction, I don't think there's anything he likes better than disappearing to the garage for '20 mins' and ending up messing about for hours! I think it's his haven of peace and quiet Stew I'm sure you'd be more than welcome to come round anytime for a nosey and keep him company (or should that be distraction!). I do bring out cups of tea and biscuits if asked nicely Quote
