Wot u think about the new cars at Longbridge being MG
I think it is great!

I loved the Mg midget
I had an Austin Healy Sprite
red
fabulous little car

I am heading towards the getting a little runaround sports car
after I lose 3 stone!
then I can get in it!!

From what I saw when we met, if you lose 3 stone, there won't be a lot left.

I agree, Jimmy. Thought that myself.

Not very up on the news these days - so who owns Longbridge now - not the big 4 that bought it for a peppercorn hopefully

I have a lovely little very yellow VW Urban Fox with my name one (part of the settlement - he kept the BMW)

We have a Golf, about four years old, no air con, no heated seats - but we like it. It's got cruise control though and I love that!!
Always liked the idea of a little two seater, but pratcicality always won out. An MG A or MGB would be good. My husband likes the BMW Z3 - and I must admit all the mod cons are attractive!
In an ideal world an renovated e-type with all the mod cons added.
Though the humoristic side of me has always liked the idea of a Morris 1000 with a really fast engine in, so that I could pull away from all those men in their fast cars at the lights!! (Yes I know it's a bit like putting a jet engine in a biplane!!)

Anyway anything "expensive" is probably out of the question as the danes put this extra tax on cars - the saying goes "buy one car, pay for three". No way am I buying a car that's worth nearly as much as a house!!!

I drive a Peugeot 207.....love it !.....My brother once had a KN series MG Magnet 1936 supercharged 4 seater open sports...hate to think what it would be worth now !.....this was in the Sixties.

My fave has be our white 1600 E Lotus Cortina. Completely built by us from a very old shell - won the Classic Car Show at the NEC for 3 years running.

My favourite car I had in 1968 was a Mini Cooper S with a Minichenti interior. With wife and 2 kids it was a blow to go to Weymouth !

My dad used to get him and mom and us 4 kids into his Ford Pop - about 12 hours to get to St Ives - you can get to America in less time these days.
