Lets liven things up!!!

[Lee]

Cmon chaps and chapess, the west country board is about as lively as mazda mx5, ;D now why everyone so quite? I want to here natter meetings and other MG related nerd stuff being discussed on here, come on people you can do it
kind regards

[Lee]

Anyway ill start things off, im a MGF newbie, bought my R reg blue F 47k 3 weeks ago for £3500 and am over the moon with it, petrol consumption was a bit of a shocker though It makes driving a pleasure and not a chore as it used to be in my ford fiesta
Im looking to meet other like minded people do discuss Mgs, i live near newton abbot, and hope to go to the next natter meeting, anyway any other forms of life out there im happy to chat.
Regards Lee

Nice hear from you Lee, you've got the right idea, only a couple of months back we had a guy, similar to you, name of Kris, he now has his first event under his belt and the south coast group is now bounding along.

Fuel consumption poor, most of us manage high 30's or low 40's on a run, even at the pace we travel at.

Unless you're doing lots of short mileage journeys, shouldn't be the case.

Hi Lee

I am reliving my younger years now that I am semi-retired, having gotten a Y reg F last May as play thing, it all in bits at the moment!

By the way I live between Paignton and Brixham in Churston.

Regards Tony

[Lee]

Thanks for your replies gents. Tony ah yes churston, the posh part of town, full of retired wealthy types ;D. Why is the F in bits may i ask? How much was the f by the way?
regards Lee

"Lets liven things up"

What torch the "Wickerman" again......

[PinkJay]

I agree with Lee.

I came on here from recomendation from Dave on the www.SWMGF.org.uk site.

He told me that there were more things going on here, in the south west, and to stick me head in.

Is everyone asleep???
Not a single post in 2 days.

There's a run out this coming weekend - to cheddar, but i can't find anything about it on here.

Anyone awake enough to give me some info on any future events please???

BTW, i'm in Bridgwater.

[Lee]

Jay, nice post girlfriend. ;D
Ok details for this coming weekend as follows,
Sunday 5th February: Drive & Natter, Cheddar, Somerset. Meet at Sainburys car park, Hankeridge business Park, Taunton, (Near to J25 M5) in time to leave at 10am. Pleasant drive to the famous Gorge.
Hope to see you there, and your 'intresting' car.
Kind regards Lee

[Kris]

Ha ha ha. You're right Adrian!! He does remind me of me!

Have fun Lee. It sounds like there's no turning back for you either. You're well and truly sucked in now. (But that's not a bad thing! )

Kris.

[PinkJay]

Come on peeps. There must be more than a couple of F's in the southwest??
I think we need to recrute some more members. Are all the f'ers asleep down in the old west country?
Anyone suggest somewhere where we can get some interest in this area?
I'm gonna do some flyers up and keep them in Cassie - so when i spot a 'western' F, or TF (sorry), i'll stick a leaflet under the wipers - no harm in trying is there?

[James Curgenven]

Hey Jay, you might be able to shed some light on this for me.

I was passing through Bridgwater last Saturday and came face to face with another Antracite TF just like Wiggles at one of the traffic lights on the road by the Ford Garage. You don't know anyone in town with one do you? Or was it likely they were just going through as well?

Incidently I suppose being in Minehead I should hold my hand up as a SW member

[PinkJay]

AHA- a minehead member - scuse the pun!!!!

Wot color is anthracite please (sorry blonde moment)

[Adrian Clifford]

Charcoal black.
