How Long have you had your F/Tf 14 years 3 months ago #6681

Bought mine second hand November 2002 with 80000km, now 168000 and was semi retired for 18mths but doing at least 12 speed events a year. It's cost me the income of a small African Nation with things like the rear shockers turret ripping out plus the dark side taking over my credit cards but with 175hp+ what do I replace it with. Nothing else would have given me so much fun for in reality so little out goings and the friendships that have been generated over three continants, maybe a TF160 but purley as a road car and keep the F as is and build her up into a full track day car. Mind you the best way to get more power is for me to loose 35kilos!

I've only had mine a month so no time for any problems yet. :)

I am hoping all is well but I guess you can never tell with a car of this age.

I just like driving it, even in this weather. Roll on the warmer days. :sunshine:

im 22, passed test when 17 and had 8 cars before the TF... and no i didnt crash ANY of them, i just got bored quickly and got shot (the record was 2 weeks before i hated everything about one of em!)... got the TF on the basis that my 2 british minis were good fun (if impractical)

bout the car in sept 08 and i think i'll be buried in her!

clutch went after 3 months but thanks to the awsome help in the MG community i "got by with a little help from my friends" and got it done "sans garage" saving me £400 :

love the car... new engine by end of 2010!

which centre caps? 14 years 3 months ago #7748

This is where I got my centre cap badges from.

I think it was the 35mm ones I got that come free with the big badge. I had to contact them and they sold me a set of 4 for around £10.


Bargin! If I can get some 69mm in the same colour I'll be a happy man, mites well do them all at once :)
