come on kev, join the fun!!!!!

youve gotta have a watch, its got 2200bhp and he picks his son up from school in it.

I'll grant your the steering wheel, but not the pedals, I have pretty large feet and never had a problem with them, besides, Worst car ever?? That's a little strong and personally I Don't think so, there's plenty to take that title long before the MGF. To name but a few............ Austin Allegro Austin Princess Austin Maestro (Are we detecting a theme here?) AMC Pacer Ford Mustang mk3 Ford "I've been smacked by a wet fish" Scorpio Ford Probe (Capri mk4 my ass!) Edsel Vauxhall Viva Vauxhall Cavalier Mk1 Peugeot 309 Any old Skoda / Ladaor anything else eastern block Renault 12 Renault 4 Need I go on? unfortunatly i wasnt born in the 1920's so havent driven most of these cars. but worst car ever? ok, its on par with two others, landrover freelander and an automatic hyundai....in yellow! the MG is a bloody awful car, i stand by what i say Mr Vista!

I used to have to sell the bastards..... what did you say to sell them??? whatever it was, thank you. they keep us busy!

whatcha getting for the calibra???

pmsl, your right they trully are awful cars! i cant crash it, i want my money. plus if i let it go out, i wont see it again next year for headgasket. the K16, the best thing ever to happen to the motor trade.

your were a very lucky man then. as for the car itself, pretty much one of the worst cars ever, pedals too close, steering wheel too low. dont think the handling is great(maybe the suspension needed pumping up ) but when i gave it some the engine didnt sound bad, wouldbe sounded gorgeous on throttle bodies with a straight cut box, but its still in an mg. rather have a bike.

bloody hell!!! hes amazing!

im not no, im very very lucky and have saturdays off. i think its because i do so much work during the week.

ive always loved you kev!

did they replace the cylinder head when the headgasket went?

tis indeed the k16 bud. absoutly shocking engines, although surprisingly good bottom ends. i think weve done 3 k16's this week alone. funny how the elise is so unreliable, you should expect a headgasket once a year, but brakes and suspesion is all lotus and usually very good. they do say lotus stands for 'Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious' tho.

i liked big train it always made me laugh but i have never seen spaced. is it good? a weird sort of humour? i like unusual stuff, mighty boosh is brilliant, properly random and properly funny! that marengay thing sounds a little like it. and shaun of the dead....best film ever?

to be honest we dont miss him, sounds harsh but he was a little bastard! used to charge us with teeth drawn. he was horrible. made us a laugh a few times tho and me dog used to love chasing him around the place in his little ball.

chris, your definatly a main dealer. they just replace the world. its fine bud, was absolutly full of the oil and water mix(my teacher always said those two could never ever mix!)we have a special fluid that goes in and clears the system. weve done it loads and never had any come backs. i do love roadtesting these cars tho, people just dont know what to do!

its white smoke jim, burning water.

co-ord sport i think deal with mazdas.

he escaped, got under the bath, then fell down the gap were the pipes run!! unfortunatly hes now deceased, he escaped yet again and drowned. me mum was hosing the garden down and he walked in the crossfire. we found him in the corner with the leaves. RIP marve!

right, well my brother has showed me how to get pics from my phone to the comp, so heres me! and below was me bored at work once.

show us them darren!!!

right, its 11.00pm. im sitting in the front room watching something on the telly box and i keep hearing a scratching sound every now and then. thought it was one of the cats or dog so ignored it. me dad wanders in from the pub and sits down too, he asks what the scratching is, i just dismiss it as the cat doing stuff behind the sofa. after a while it gets more constant so we investigate, no cats or dogs in site. just a wall. "have you checked in the hamster recently" he asks "....shit!" i wander upstairs and the cage is open. well theres only one thing for it. with a few beers in him and toolbox in hand my dad produces a hammer! with hamster catching devices in hand as were peer into the hole who do we see.... thats right, little Marve sitting in the wall. thats me coaxing him out with pizza, a ladel and the fruit bowl.

had a rover come in at work the other day for headgasket(surprise surprise) the owner told us it was smoking quite a bit on the drive over and the bloke behind put his fog lights on. we thought he was over reacting somewhat. turns out he wasnt...

bloody love this pic!!!! really properly miss my old 1300L, that car was minty mint!!! wish id never have sold it.

i like the sound of this bloke. a bit of friendly banter never hurt anybody. so hes a bit cocky(your words rudy )at least he said if you beat him he'll shake your hand and start again. you cant say fairer than that can yer. sounds like youve worked very hard, look forward to seeing the car bud.

my friend has done the same on his car. got a local sign writing shop to make one and has stuck it on the bonnet, hasnt had any grief from the filth yet.
