Early last year I was feeling a little down and bored. I am at that age when you are too young to retire and too old to be "that interested" in work, careers etc. I am not far off sixty, some days I feel it, but most days I act a lot younger!
I bought a Suzuki SV650s as a way to get my kicks. I loved it, went out to meets and shows and had a great time.
Then the summer turned to winter. A bike is not so practical in ice and snow. A new plan was needed. Now I had always liked the MGF but never considered buying one because of the horror stories of quality and reliability which had put me off.
More as an act of the heart rather that of the head I saw an MGF advertised locally, took it for a test drive and before I knew it had it sitting on my drive!
Now I still have the bike but I have no desire to ride it. The MGF now gives me the excitement the bike once did. I really do not understand why. I have had many cars including 4x4,s, hot hatches and so called up-market motors.
What is it about these cars? They are not particularly fast and somewhat noisy but I love driving it. It is twelve years old and is supposed to be my second car but there is something about it I can't describe. I even spend too much time on MG forums finding more information about them.
I follow the weather forecast intently hoping for a dry day so that I can drive "topless"
What started off as a bit of fun and backup transport for the bike is taking over my life! Is this a normal part of MGF ownership or do I need help?
Oh, I just love this car!!!!!!
