I finally took receipt of my 2005 MG TF on Friday 5^th February 2010.  It has been a week in coming.  I went to collect it last Saturday to find that it had failed it's test - all the tyres had to be replaced by the dealer.  Money changed hands with keys and log book coming in the opposite direction.  We had decided to have lunch in the pub literally around the corner, so with hood down and the engine ticking over nicely I depressed the clutch and put into gear.  Releasing the clutch slowly (as unsure where the bite point was) I suddenly realised that I had taken my foot completely off the clutch and had not moved....

The first real post of the new site.  For the last few weeks I have been contemplating buying a new car as my old Mondeo is getting to the point where it's likely to start costing me money.  Actually, that's not true - I started contemplating about 3-4 years when I wanted to have a mid-life crisis and buy an MGF.
