Another MGF stable mate

[SOOB]

Hi You can't beat the late 90's for great British design and engineering, making Fun cars still around today for peanuts?
Both have VVC/VTC engines but the MGF beats my Puma hands down for all round performance, still the Puma 1.7 is great as well. Both great on petrol. Pity I end up paying for overseas new crap in the form of TAX funny I thought we paid for the amount of mile and size of tarmac used. No wonder so many cars are being scrapped for a patch of rust!
God help us when Gretta makes us go back to horse and carts, let alone electric blackout, just like the good old days :roll:
Anyway MGF for summer mainly when we can get out there again and Puma mainly in the winter is a good combination. Who needs EU rubbish anyway (well Puma was made in the mother land was'nt it )

Hi Very true, the penny will drop one day soon and every one will want one. Pretty rust free but I will do the back half of the sills next year, have them ready from Mike Stuar, doing it myself as it is only plug welds. Thinking of doing the Puma rear arches as well, not that hard with care, not sure yet but have 2 old front MGF wings (bolt on) to see if I can cut them up? ")^ ones must be thin on the ground these days :x
You both know then of the pair complementing each other, 4 seats can be useful sometimes. Will be going to the 25th/26th event next year, was at the 20th. I live near Longbridge so not far for me. I see the green one is an early one, mine is a 98 pretty early too, built better then, I prefer the softer ride as well But for the TF people they are like a different car almost, nice to have a choice.

I was referring to the 206 front wings bit old now.

BTW You can see my Puma on here if you look for 'LUCAS SQ8 SPOTS' a Melina 1.7 only 76k for £550 MOT on the road 2 years ago. Had belts and clutch done to be on the safe side, that's all. I patched rear arches them up with filler but a proper job is needed. I also had a S reg escort that was the same, what can you expect with a ten year life projection :-( Needs must.
