Wheeler Dealers - MGB GT (DVD)

Learn more about your car

Advantages: good learning process
Disadvantages: bit pricey

Brought this DVD for part of my Hubby's Christmas box, he's into Top Gear and other car programmes such as this, by the time he got around to putting this DVD on, I was well and truly hooked on car shows, so had no problems with watching it. Actually a very interesting DVD, which instead of just showing you flash cars, not only few can afford, this DVD gives some very useful tips and information. The basics are, that presenter Mike Brewer and a mechanic genius friend of his, have a £1000, starting fund, with this, they have to purchase a scrap, or near scrap sporty or classic car, from local papers, small adds column etc, and do it up as best they can, Mike tends to be the man, who job it is to go out and get the best deals he can for spare parts, whilst the mechanic sets to work on the car, they are given one week to complete ...

Review of MGB Roadster

Smile - it's an MG

Advantages: A car that INCREASES in value for a change
Disadvantages: You'll never get your husband in off the drive (or is that another advantage?!)

Now - well, now I could almost tell you how to build one. Yes - I finally gave in and let him have one - which quickly turned into two - but, I'm getting slightly ahead of myself. Let me go back...

The cars were due for changing and I suddenly thought - what the heck! - life is too short to obsess over practicalities. So, despite having 3 children (impossible in an MG) I finally said that my husband could buy an MG for his 'work' car (I got a new Renault ...
