New Purchase - My Typhoon has a baby sister!

Rick-sta · 6th July 2016, 11:35

Yesterday evening at 5pm myself and my girlfriend set off on a all round 6 hour 340 mile trip to collect her first MG. Had some trouble getting up there, a lot of traffic and then in the 4th lane of the M40 my ZT decided to eat it's drivers side wheel arch ripping it off along with the ABS and Brake Pad sensors

So bye bye ABS and Speedo for the rest of the journey. Lucky my navall 3's GPS displays my speed so had to use that.

All worth it in the end though.. as we brought this home. It's a Monogram Typhoon MG TF 135 to go with the ZT

And here she is all happy with her new car

Should have seen her face the whole way home

She's extremely happy with it and had been hoping to get one for a year now.

It's not perfect, will need some TLC but still looks a stunner, enjoyed watching it on the road during our 3 hour journey back home, arrived home at 1:30am

Looks great.

Deanna, with her size 8 figure will have no problem getting in and out of that.
I might get in - just. But would need a Hi-Ab crane at the back to lift me out!

Nice indeed.....................

There is a knack to getting in and out for the less flexible and older drivers. I am not exactly slim and not very flexible now but mahage it quite easily in fact have an MGF as my daily driver.

Very nice Rick, they look fantastic together

In somebody else's words "Oh what a lovely pair!"

I do like the colour, super sexy.

I bet you won't get to drive that much Rick....

Dallas · 6th July 2016, 15:19

OMG!

Wow! what a fabulous looking MGF, certainly worth the stress of the journey I bet.

They both look superb together, so jealous.

Very, very nice Rick

Not many monogram TFs around I bet.
Lucky Deanna, if she enjoys it as much as I have my little MGF, she'll be smiling all the way

It makes my F look a little shabby

You are a very lucky guy mate. Lovely cars and a lovely girlfriend who has the cars as a common interest.
Treasure it mate.
