Got the wife a new car :-)
Wanted something to replace our MG that we have owned since 2003, trouble is that what we have is really good despite the badge (it's mainly BMW). We have this:
It's replacement needed to be an estate and be more special.. The ideal machine is an M5 estate but that's too much money
Then I spotted the ideal car on ebay and did a deal today ..
The amount of tailpipes should give the game away
It will have 9" satin black MO's on the rear and 8" on the front
It has an engine that will give sooo much more with tuning
You like?

Cracking cars.......... forget the badge, anyway, MG did their fair share for the automotive industry IMO of course
Ford V8................ VERY softly tuned, amazing how little BHP they got out of 4.6 ? ltrs
I'm sure you'll soon put that right
