Hello - new owner here.. and more! 9 years 7 months ago #150215
Hello, I am new to this so please be gentle! When I say this I mean both MG ownership and forums!
I've recently bought myself a 2000 MGF VVC manual and what can I say, I love it!
I'm taking part in a year long charity/Top Gear style challenge call the Le Mons 365 Challenge and I guess in doing so I'm representing MGF owners every where. So I could really use your support!!!
This is the Challenge:

And this tells you more about it:

And this is me and my car:

We're not just doing this for fun though, it's actually for charity, but I'm not here to beg for money.
Instead we're turning the year into a TV show, first episode out soon, but this is the trailer:
Anyway, I hope some of you find this stuff of interest, and if its ok with the forum admins i'd like to keep you updated.. Leigh?
I do have some technical questions though. I'm looking to replace the exhaust....the budget is about £100, which is the best type I should get? Also the clock doesn't keep time and the stereo doesn't remember stations, just wondered if these two things are linked?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks....

Exhausts - You can get a mild steel standard exhaust for about £67, but factor in the fact that the old one will be a pig to get off and you may end up needing a catalytic converter too.

Thanks all for the positive and enthusiastic responses! Very glad I joined 
Anyone want a *free* dyno run?
The next event in the Le Mons 365 Challenge Calendar is on Saturday 27th September. We are holding a rolling road day to see how much horsepower our cars still have and are going to lose 5 points for every HP we've lost over the years!!!
The guys who are hosting the rolling road (Austec Racing - http://www.austec.co.uk/) have kindly offered to donate all monies raised on the day to our charities. With the first 9 places taken up by the Le Mons fleet, this leaves us with a fantastic 11 places still available (at least there were when they last told me).
While the dyno day is *free* we are asking people to donate a minimum of £30 to book a place.
So, if you're within range of Gatwick, want to have your car dyno'd and probably have a lot of fun on the day (as well as potentially appear on the 'tv show'), then this might be for you. It's first come, first served.
If you'd like to come out and play with us please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and she'll give you the details!

Yeah, saw that, but was concerned it was *too* cheap to be any good? Would love a TT3,6 or 7 but they are just too expensive..
