Re: Show us your cheesy accessories please!
Here you go, my Lada loving friend.
If you post the drool emoticon, I will be very cross. I might even show you one of the Chinese (M)orning (G)lory cars.

I'm posting the drool but it's aimed squarely at the women in the film . The car would appear to be yet another modern thing with added - and not too attractive, IMHO - scallops that Leepu himself would be proud of!
I drove a new MG recently, its transmission system was, put simply, the worst I've ever had the gross misfortune to use with even more lag on taking off than DSG and that in spite of the car (according to the colleague who owns it) having a very small converter with a manual lockup in its top gear which, I think, was fifth of five but the brake band-ruining slurring between ratios was so dreadful that I suggested that she (the owner) should either burn the evil thing or, probably a better plan, bob it back to the dealer for a transmission rebuild under warranty. I've since discovered that only Motability contract cars are available with the two pedal option, that the car is only available with last Century Diesel engines and no petrol option and that the standard six-speed manual in "civilian" versions is fairly uninspiring too.
So if you post a picture of an MG6, I will hunt you down, take you prisoner with the help of four angry teuchters and a large hessian sack, run you up to the Highlands in the back of a Transit with no heater and, having forced you at tickling stick point to don a comedy kangaroo suit, abandon you there to make your own way home. Watch out for the bears, they don't like fake marsupials, especially not fake marsupials who would post images of fur coat & no knickers modern sh1te on old car fora.
Do we understand each other?

We are definitely singing off the same hymn sheet here. There's a number of forums for the new MG cars, I looked up a few, but couldn't find the one that I wanted to show you.JPB wrote:I drove a new MG recently, its transmission system was, put simply, the worst I've ever had the gross misfortune to use.
The gist of it was, a youngish fellow bought an MG3, his posts were so exciting before purchase. He couldn't sleep, told everyone who would listen, on and on. He posted countless photos of it after his car was delivered, then came the problems. Back it went to the workshop. Back it came, back it went. 18 months on, he took the dealer's offer of £4K. It had cost him about £10K with the finance charge. You live and learn.

Well we already knew that, once the production of MG left Abingdon, all it became was a badge engineered exercise, and a p*ss-poor one at that.rich. wrote:there, i corrected that for you.GHT wrote:a fellow bought an MG, his car was delivered, then came the problems.

Er, I've got a teddy bear, with an MG logo on his jumper, that sits on the back seat. (You want pics, don't you?) I shall have to put a pair of dark glasses on Ted, he would never live it down otherwise.
