Well the battery was dead so I jumped it and got it going. Came up to temp
nice and everything looked ok. I setteld in and placed it in gear. The car
pulled away very nicely and I was very impressed with the performance. The
batterie was not charging wich made me a little woried but it was soon left
behind as the miles clicked by.
I stoped to pick up my friend sandra who happens to be british but has
never ridden in a british sports car ( still has yet to). I backed out of
her drive to pull away when the car whent dead. I turned the key and
nothing! The batterie was dead. Gee and I was starting to like this car. I
geuss to MG gods heard me. I pushed it to a friends house and tried to no
avail to get it started. Finaly we used an other car to start it. As soon
as it fired up I hopped in and drove as quickly as I could to the lot and
gave it back. I did like the interior and the seating position but the Gods
of MG came into play quickly on that one and I will never look at that TR7
again. >>

Hey Charlie, stop blaming the "Gods of MG" because you took out a car with a
dead battery!  If it wouldn't start at the dealership, and it wasn't charging,
why did you think it would start later on?!?  

Don't blame the TR7 either.  That was a BL car, same as MG at the time.  (I
know, I know, but my Nomex is in the wash.)  The TR7 roadster is actually a
very good value in an LBC.  I don't like the coupe, but the roadster is
actually quite pretty, and can usually be had for a small amount.

Next time the dealer calls, have him install a new battery for your joyride.
