Hello all,
I was totally certain I've introduced myself on this forum but when I tried to find it de search engine drew a blank..
I'm Peter 43 years aged and from Annerveenschekanaal, Netherlands and active on versatile fora under the nick Kobold.
Thirteen years ago I've had my first ride in a MGF, and ever since I'd promised myself to get myself one 'Later'
4 years ago I was surprised by the event of a small infarction due to 2 partially blocked coronary arteries, which has been solved now by the implant of 4 stents.
This was the moment I realized that 'Later, in good health and enjoyable' isn't guaranteed, thus then i've decided 'Later' is NOW!
So we went looking and bought a pre '86 Land-Rover '90 for the Misses, and 3 years ago I stumbled upon a MGF who's been taught winter is a warmed garage with a cloth draped over it, with less than 70K on it. (That has been a rude awakening)
So, what have we got: a '97 MGF VVC in British Racing Green, a Heritage hardtop in black, and a functional and original MGF CD/ radio saved from the breakers.
At 78.000 the telltales of HGF showed up and that was replaced with the timingbelt.
Last year I've added adjustable Spax dampers from Mike Satur, Lexus style smoked taillights and a vented brake kit with greenstuff pads.
there is a lot more in the box to be put on but at the moment we have a knocking issue that needs solving first
So far this introduction...
