How interesting, how do you guys find out all this information??

My car is being re-sprayed at the moment because the guy that owned it before did a bodge job on the back wing and painted the front wing the wrong coloured silver. Hopefully by the end of this week I will have it back and I will be able to attach some photos.

Well there are some very useful sites & forums out there. So you just pick things up! A year ago I didn't even know how to top up coolant but now I've just about done everything to my F! You'll pick up loads of info just by browsing and posting up threads. The one thing I learnt was never be afraid to ask a question because chances are there are another 10 people wondering the same but are just waiting for someone else to ask!

One of the best sites for info is MGF/TF Central: http://www.mgf-tf.mgfans.co.uk/ ...it has how to guides, tips, tricks & just general info & great links to other sites.

Ashame about the botched paint job but I bet she'll look fantastic once she's done! Can't wait to see pics!

Thanks for the link, hopefully the car will look how it was meant to be.

Absolutely and then you can spend your paychecks modding her! Don't forget to hint to Santa what you'd like!

So I forgot to ask - have you named him/her yet? It's quite the tradition for us F/TF owners!

No, I haven't thought of one yet;

Maybe Silver Dream Machine, that's a bit David Essex though..

How about Silver Bullet?

I'll have to have a think about that:dunno:

Silver Bullet sounds good! Oooh how about Lunar Eclipse, shooting star, or Adamantium (that's the silver liquid metal Wolverine was injected with!) ... see you can have a lot of fun with names! Then the hardcore enthusiasts like myself & Gos end up getting a small decal with their car's name made up or personalized car mats - proper geeky stuff!
