Just in case it wasn't obvious enough nothing in the original post was written
in my own hand... 100% cut and pasted off the WhatCar? website. Someone worded
a reply and it seemed that they thought I wrote it.
Anyway, I'd rather like a little MG coupe/hard top like the Rover 25 to scoot
around town in without the wind blowing through it like my MGB-GT (Admittedly,
not all MGB-GTs were equiped with 1/2" gaps between the window seals and the
door glass, but all are a little breezy). Ofcourse in America we won't be
seeing anything like that soon. Luky Brits, you get the cool shit.
I am one of those people who would like to drive thier MG every damn day of the
year, and if it takes three MGs to do that, I'm cool with that. I have seen a
million MGFs here at Cambridge U, and I have to say they have every drawback an
MGB does in terms of practicality. Not that these drawbacks have kept an MGB
convertible out of my garage, because I have one, and I'd overlook them again
if I ever had the chance to buy an MGF. But I can't drive my MGB every day
every where, and I'm so sure of an MGF. Its RWD, which sucks in the snow, and
it seats two. SO, I need an MG sedan. A MG 25 would be really cool I have to
say. They are dead handsome cars and would only be about $15,000 (they cost
under £10,000 in the UK). I thought about supplementing my MG Magnette Mk. III
with an old XJ6 or an XJ12 (my XJ-S is wonderful but seats only 2) so that I
could haul people around at higher speeds, but I have to say I'd give up the
snobby Jag for an MG sedan any day. Then people would stop asking me if I was
borrowing Daddy's car, even though the Jag is a dirt cheap car ($5000=NICE
XJ-S!) A dream would be to have matching Magnettes... my Mk. III and a Rover
75/MG Magnette would be TOO cool. But those aren't as cheap.
Anyway, if you've made it this far in my post I'd bet you are either: retired,
divorced, or in some other way have too much time on your hands so go get
yourself a nice new project car and work on it or go work on that one you
probably already got.
