Wifey fancies a soft top motor don't ask me why ! She found a 2001 MGF one owner from new with 7,900 miles at a classic car specialist in Peterborough , wanted to go & view it this afternoon , I stuck to my guns definitely out of the question if it had been the Honda S2000 they also have I may have been tempted.

Thought she wanted a cute little Toyota?

S2000 is a very quick car, 0-60 in just over 6 seconds. Are you sure?

That's still on the cards when the Subaru goes, the MG was as well as, the I think she is trying to recapture her youth..😄

[STEMO]

You want the Honda for yourself, don't you?

I've always fancied one of them but she didn't like the colour !(yellow) but in all honesty I don't think I'd fit in one.

And just as twitchy as the MGF. Or a Porsche.


A good MGF is an excellent choice for a sportscar. Especially if you find an MX5 a bit cramped

[Sir Tigger KC]

Didn't Lord Opti buy a 2 seater soft top of some description a while back for the long suffering Mrs Opti?   

I don't think it lasted long and he must have had a guilty conscience to have bought it in the first place! 

Anything you want to tell us Mick?

A few years back a colleague had an MGF he had so many problems with it he almost went insane ! That's what made me say no to her.

Not guilty of any misdoings 😄 We've had 3 sometimes 4 vehicles in the past & now we do hardly any mileage can't see the point really.

Everyone will tell you that the K series eats head gaskets, but I think that wasn't really true. Not on the ones I owned, anyway.

[Doctor Gollum]

That boils, no pun intended, down to the lack of coolant capacity... The Omega can afford to lose a few litres before it cooks. The K series barely holds a gallon, so even a minor leak, if unnoticed doesn't take very long to kill it. At speed, once the gauge rises and the light comes on, it's pretty much done.

That's the first thing that went through my mind, but I know there is a conversion kit to avoid this, but really don't want the hassle.

Daughter bought one new, and at about 20k and 4 years it had all sorts of issues with the coolant system. Having spent hours repairing it, I wouldn’t touch one.

[STEMO]

It seems the consensus is: why bother with it if you don't have to?
As you were, Mick, S2000 it is
