I know, Andy :(

 

Long story mate - the ghost of the C s money pit still haunts me today - so much that I actually backed out of buying the MG initially....

 

 

Anyway

So far its only costed me:

£140 for refurb radiator fan (mod)

£13 rear light seals

£10 engine bay plenum guard (mod)

 

So MG been surprisingly well behaved :thumbleft:

 

 

Something about it that I not comfortable

So much when I went to buy it I had EXACTLY the same guy feeling as the C - don't buy!

 

But MG been good :)

But I still not happy :(

Especially when parked on public road and inconvenient to detail or tinker with ...

[Hairyarse 10]

Always trust your gut instinct Wayne ;) So will it be another C next?

[MZpog 10]

I'll let you have a go in mine if you want a Corrado fix again, lol

Bad hair day, Andy :(

Or another mid life crisis!

Lol

Just kidding ref C - don't think my £2k budget can stretch to a mint C :(

Lol

Cheers Stuart.

It's OK - I will survive 3-5 years wait for a mint one :)

[Hairyarse 10]

You should find a reliable 8v or 16v for that money ;)

[MZpog 10]

Lol

You best hope that a minter won't cost £20k in 3-5 years.

Once driven a VR6 - can't have anything else ...

He can't handle the power of a valver!

The noise is hard to beat, but for me if I buy another it's very likely to be a 16v again, rather than VR6. I really liked the VR and it looked lovely, but I loved the 16v more for some reason?

[Hairyarse 10]

Haha :thumbleft:

There no chance of them getting even close to that price. Cheap older cars will always have issues, just do a bit of research and ask on forums for opinion before buying.

 

I reckon if you had asked on here about your white C before buying we would have all said no. I remember reading the advert before you bought it and I wouldn't gone near it.

No I can't...

 

Not enough :lol:

Before buying the C

I was buying the Mk2 Golf GTi 8v

Sure 8v less power than the 16v - but been told 8v more engaging and fun?

 

 

Is this what u mean by the 16v, Andy?

What about the Supercharger? :shrug:

Sadly I just bought it by myself and fell in love with it immediately :(

Missed her a lot - but at least the new owner got time/money and the tools to restore her now :thumbleft:

[Hairyarse 10]

I meant the 2.0 16v Corrado Wayne, like the white one I used to have. It was a really nice car to drive.

I know

I meant is the 16v C more fun in other ways than the more powerful VR6 ?

 

The Golf comparison was just a metaphor :lol:

 

 

If I still had a garage I would buy a cheap C to tinker with in a heart beat (AS LONG as its mechanically sound - :lol:)

[Hairyarse 10]

I suppose it's just different - and down to personal taste. I love the sound of the VR6, but just loved the way the 16v drove. There's nothing tangible I can put my finger on - esp. as my valver was pretty rough looking, I just loved it more.

Wayne mentions the power of the VR but only got to watch my spoiler on our blast down the bypass.

Cool

It's really boils down to personal preference....
