The MGF Register Forums

I'll make sure to include it in the designs I give to MG

Outstanding !

Still waiting for the 'kissy' smiley - and a 'cup of tea and a biscuit' one would be good too.
Alternatively, there's always the 'I'll get me coat' one.

BRG F near to Rode in Somerset on Sunday evening ~ you waved and flashed at us in our BRG F

I drove past this yesterday and waved and flashed (my lights, lol) but got totally ignored. Seriously, how rude! It's not like there's gonna be a chance to see two Sunspots on the same stretch very often.

I get waved at all the time, and retaliate but i've yet to actually find out who the people are, lol.

They're obviously not on here then are they

Vain......I like your style ... There are just three around here and all of them just ignore me whenever I wave... So iv given up on them. If any of ye are passing my way this summer and see a BRG MG F being driven "enthusiasticly" do say "hello" !!!!!

Ezra,

Whereabouts are you?

I've also got a BRG F that gets a good spanking round Europe's sunny regions on a daily basis.

Hi
unfortunatly I'm based in Ireland so I have to make do with intermitent sunshine. However I go to France every year to Le Mans for a few weeks, maybe I'll see you there sometime!!!!

Tomorrow - Sat 5th June - I will be driving from Poole to Brum - via Romsey, Stockbridge, Sutton Scotney and up the A34
to the M4 - M42 - A34 again and in to Moseley up the B4217.
Starting at 8 am-ish

Give me a wave - me top will be off !

On Sunday from Brum to Harrogate via Tamworth across to M1 - A1M and thence off to HGte.
And back again.

All driving. No walking involved.

Have a wonderful time at Silverstone, y'all.

Thats one hell of a trip Ruth, good luck

I spotted a fellow TF owner on the edge of the Peak District over the weekend, both of us with the hoods down. We seemed to exchange glances so I started to raise my hand to acknowledge him just as he looked away so my wave became an embarrassed head scratch instead, made the missus laugh!

I saw SO MANY MGs of all ages, types and colours on my way north on Saturday - I waved to everyone I passed and it felt great
to have something in common with some fellow motorists, instead of reverting to my default state of
assuming everyone else on the road is a lunatic and should be kept well clear of.
(Of course I understand that to assume that all MG drivers are NOT lunatics to be avoided would be a rather precarious
position to take - but one does like to give the benefit of the doubt on occasions like these.)

Don't think I've been so contented with my lot in a very long time !

Coming back was the same - and - joy of joys - I was flashed by a fellow Tangerine Dream driver as I passed
through Sutton Scotney onto the Stockbridge road. I gave them a happy wave, but could not see the driver as
their lid was on.
Why ? It wasn't raining.......ok - the skies were overcast and rain was forecast but I'd chanced it from Warwick on
down the M40 and it was very exhilarating.

I suppose being Northern helps - we're used to lower temperatures.


*edited to add - oh yes - I hit the ton a couple of times too - but I never said that because I was never here. Innit.

woo hoo ....
hello mr green p plate f driver who actually waved at me in long eaton

Been back with the 'F' for just over a month now, it is amazing how times have changed, with our 1st 'F' - '96 to '98, everyone waved, flashed - it would be very unusual to be ignored.

Now I have found its quite the reverse yet to be 'acknowledged', have a few 'F' & 'TF' owners nearby but they just drive on by.

Spotted a BRG MG F on Sunday heading down the M54. He followed me for a bit but I had to stop as my mates 911 had a warning light, caught up with him again on the M6 for a bit until he peeled off at J6 (NEC)

was it you?? :-p

Saw my first LE500 driving "in the wild" on Friday, trolling along the A40 out of London - we parted company at the M25 Junction. And guess what? It was one of the few Crystal Whites. So two of the 25 together on the road for a few minutes. (LK58NBG). I have had some ragging about HGF on my reg but it has to be better than "NBG", surely? We exchanged a wave.

Today in Swanage, striped rather than spotted

Going to Chelmsford on Saturday - via A35, M27, M3 and the upper half of (god help me) the M25 - then A12.
Coming back on Sunday via the lower half of M25.

I really really DO NOT LIKE the M25 - but since there's a BBQ at the end of it, hell - might as well eh?

Look out for the Tangerine Dream - I'll be waving at every MG I see. Brrrummm BRRRUMMMMM !

Plenty in Chelmsford Ruth, my car's there today in fact, Dawn's using it for work as her's has to go to the garage for a lock replacement, I'm taking it in when I go to work at 3..
