Re: Hi to all in the register and advice on purchasing.. F o

You have to post tonight Colin. It's the law! The wise words of a trusted friend who helped me collect our new car this evening. So here goes..... A nice trip from Stansted via North London to Burnham in Slough. I saw the M25 was closed and so we made the detour via hanger lane.... Those that know ...

Re: Hi to all in the register and advice on purchasing.. F o

I very much like the red one too.
A deposit has been put on it already so it's not for sale anymore.


Luckily, it was me that put the deposit down....... ;)

Re: Hi to all in the register and advice on purchasing.. F o

Hi Bosworthian, You know that looks about exactly what I was looking for. Except... I've only just realised we have two blue cars on the driveway already.... Blue is now off the list (what a tart I am, especially as Trophy Blue and the Dark Metallic Blue look soooo nice!) We are now back from our we...

So, sat or Sun then folks, am flexible. Majority rule will indicate which one :D
Maybe possible for me to turn up, location dependant.

Re: Track Day Folk

100% yes please..... You very welcome to bring the car to mine to work on it too if wanted. You know the tools etc. that I have here :D I had a quick look here for some ideas on locations and prices. Brands Hatch or Bedford seem a reasonable choice? http://www.trackdays.co.uk/calendar/filter/?type=&...

Re: Hi to all in the register and advice on purchasing.. F o

Hi Stuart, Don't turn up to the next meet in your TF then as I think you may take a Focus home with you instead :twisted: In all honesty the interior colour is the least of the priorities as bodywork and paint condition is most important for me. Black seats with coloured inserts look good in photos ...

Re: Hi to all in the register and advice on purchasing.. F o

Hi All, thanks for your comments advice and help. OK, to firm up what I am looking for with my new found knowledge... TF160 with excellent bodywork, not coloured silver, grey or yellow. Dark Blue, Trophy Blue, Black, Deep Red, Green are all good. Would really like a Sprint SE or other similar model....

Re: Hi to all in the register and advice on purchasing.. F o

Cheers Guys, thanks for the warm welcome, most appreciated. Ok, so I have done a fair old read up thanks to the ultimatemg buying guide. I think a TF of some description is the one for us. I'd prefer a 160 but if not, are the 135's that much slower off the mark? The type of car I have in mind would ...

Hi to all in the register and advice on purchasing.. F or TF

Hello to you all. A good friend of mine recently showed off his newly acquired MGF. Both me and the Mrs took it for a spin and we were very impressed. So much so that we are seriously considering buying one for ourselves. It would be used as a fun car rather than a daily driver. We have two little k...

Re: Next Meeting ???

How do folks feel about something a little different for April? April 25th will be my 50th birthday, so I wondered if we could have a curry to celebrate and combine this with a Club night as well? The 25th and 26th are out due to family stuff but most other dates near are fair game. Thoughts? Ken :...
