MG MGF Technical - I'm puzzled. Please help me.

What exactly is "technical" about an MGF?????????????

Surely they are no more technical than a wet weekend in Morecombe. A particulary dreary place that I had the great misfortune to visit when on my vacation in Great Britain.

May I suggest that you all take a trip to Toys R Us, you will find many more technical items in there. And of much more use.

Thanks for your really witty comment.
Glad to have you aboard.
You yanks really corner the market when it comes to humour.

Red,

Seeing as we have bends and roundabouts, our cars have steering wheels, .... oh and we have engines as well. Oh you know, that lump of metal that resides behind you, not that you would know being a ferrari driver cause the only time that gets looked at is when it goes in for its 6000 mile service.

let me explain...
STEERING WHEEL - turn it and the car turns
ENGINE - makes the car go
ROUNDABOUT - fun things that you don't have
MGF - a lovely car that is loved and cherished, not shoved in a garage in amoungst a 'collection' of other neglected cars.

Hey Chris, you forgot to mention : dampers, gearstick, ...
Fabrice

Are you related to the "Red Ferarri" that lives in the garage next door?

It needs a new exhaust header pipe: it is going to cost its owner £3000! You have to dismantle most of the car to get to it - that's what I call "design".

At least MG's are easy/cheap to work on...
Neil

Well I didn't want to confuse the poor chap!

Hey Chris.

Don't take life or yourself so seriously.

Ooops. My appologies, you don't do you?

If you did you wouldn't drive a silly little car like that would you.

Would You?

Have the schools finished for the summer already in the US?
Dot

Why are you guys so obsessed with how much it all costs?

What's money.

See Fabrice, I think I have gone and overdone it, ol' Red is delirious!! Should have tried pictures first ;-)

MG = English = Historical nation

USA......er yes....er....
Bob

Dot? Red?
Dot have you been lying to me?

Red, you poor unfortunate. Who the hell took you to Morecombe- next time you come make sure you go see all the nice bits of Britain:
Coventry- amazing architecture
Slough- stunning scenery
Brixton- beautiful English hamlets
Toxteth- its kinda the Beverly Hills of Europe



Hugo

Red.
Why oh why have you bothered to comment on an MG board in the middle of the night? Thats if you are currently in America (7+hours of British summer time)or are you currently visiting our country if so I am sure a few of us would love to show you around.
p.s.Did i mention my second car was a 360 modena .

I think we are all being very cruel to old RED.
He is entitled to his own opinion.
I would like to know what model he owns.
Is it a Corgi or Dinky.

BTW Yellow, is that the color of the streak up your spine.

Go you gotta be kiddin me. You're "2nd" car is a Modena??. You can't be serious and have dumb old MG as your main transport.

Get a life.
Red Ferrari

Think you got him sussed Tim :)
Dot

hmmm...

* If I own a Ferrari instead of an MG, would I visit the MG BBS time after time ?
* If I own an MG, would I call myself 'Red Ferrari' ?
* If I am interested in MGs, but I couldn't afford it, would I hang around on this BBS ?
* Will I post stupid threads because I am jealous ?

My answers: No, No, Yes, No
R. Ferraris answers: No, No, Yes, Yes

My conclusion, he's just a mo... oh never mind... he isn't worth it.

Cheers,
Erik

And he posted to just about all the subject areas except Flame Wars.
I'm most disappointed. LOL
Dot

Think you got that wrong.

It's Erik, A Twerp. Better grammer next time eh?

What the !"£"£%$%$£ is LOL?

Red Ferrari

Hi Guys,

It obvious this person is looking for attention. He seems to be getting it with all these replies.

Please ignore their comments and he'll soon get bored and move onto bother someone else.

Cheers,

Daniel.

Ginger, oh dear.
Red Ferrari

How do we know you are really Ginger. All the girls say that.

What color are your roots.

BTW, who's stealing my name?
Red Ferrari

Who are you, I was here first.
Red Ferrari

i'm bitter because my mother/sister sent me to my room without dinner.
Red Ferrari

To the imposter,

What was your first posting under my name?
Red Ferrari

I think I see where Hugo got to.
Dot

See you Jimmy!

Hugo's gone away.
Martin Jackson

Hey Martin, have you tossed anything lateley?
Jackson Martin

Not me Dot darling.
Hugo

Me neither
Hugo

I'm really puzzled.

Why is it that this thread had so many replies?

It has generated more than any other in the last day.

Can anyone enlighten me?
Martin Jackson

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away.
Red Ferrari

I agree Martin. I've followed the BBS for 5 months being an unfortunate sad owner of an MGF. I have been very impressed with the informative content and have made several modifications based on the advice given by genuine and knowledgeable car enthusiasts. I would love to own a Ferrari..bank manager would have other ideas. All car enthusiasts recognise the pros and cons of any vehicle and enjoy civil conversation. Unfortunately the internet lends itself to abuse from small-minded prats who eventually get bored and go elsewhere. Hopefully this will be soon in our case.
