Superb stuff Mrs Mecca. Top Form!

You want it....you have it!

All the best!

 

Thanks for that Neil...would love one of your exhausts when finances allow!

 

Well done Mrs Mecca for staying ....

See you at Blackpool

 

Brilliant to hear ! I think a Damehood is in order ! (if thats what its called)
Look forward to seeing you on the blackpool meet.
Regards,
Phil

 

Excellent news, I hate it when people leave the fold....

 

Good move MrsMecca. You have made the decision that you want, it is what life is all about, sometimes we let boring practical ideas take over, but life is too short, we must be ready to go with our heart and not with our head. Otherwise what is it all about? I impulse bought my F all the practical reasons flashed out of my brain in less than a second I saw it, it was good and sound and I could afford it and I wanted it. What else is there to consider.

You are so right!

I have been so depressed about how this illness has taken away many things I used to enjoy doing and resigned myself to driving a boring A to B car. This has made me realise I need to stop worrying about what I can't do, focus on what I can do ...and fight for what I want!!!

Thanks for your kind words.

 

I think this should be an example to us all actually

SO I dont want to hear any more FEEBLE EXCUSES for packing in your MGs

 

what heartening news, well done and good luck, respect to you :respect:

 

Hi Mrs Mecca, sorry to hear about the heath problems and hope it is not too serious. You just need to keep a look out for the "How to install Stepspeed" thread to appear on here - then you can lavish even more money on the TF.

Keep well.

 

Hi MrsMecca, Huge respect.

Could I ask in broad terms, what is the nature of your medical/health problem. If you feel able to talk of it naturally.

I ask this for two very good reasons

1 / Believe it or not, there are a couple of reasonably inteligent people on forum, who may be able knowing your problems, to suggest ways of making things easier for you. possibly by adapting your car.

2/ and far more important, Im just bloody nosy.

Hi nosy Steve,

I have an illness that causes my muscles to cramp, spasm and then paralyse - it's mainly in my thighs and upper arms at the moment. It also affects my balance so I fall over a lot (people think I'm drunk which is quite funny at times lol!) It started suddenly in May and by June I had days when I couldn't walk without a walking stick or holding on to some one. I take seven different drugs now which add to the fatigue the condition gives me. I've had to give up work and many things I used to enjoy. What the out look is I don't know!

I must admit I do get some funny looks when I stumble up to my TF, walking stick in hand, slide (sorry, 'drop') into the drivers seat and roar off and getting out is even funnier!!

I haven't lost my sense of humour and can see the funny side at least!

 

woohoo glad your stopping Nic................. xx

 

That's good news. These cars do have a strange hold over many of us!


I don't know if this is of any interest:

I don't know all the ins and outs, but I believe essentially it converts your existing car to an automatic. The cost may be prohibitive, but I thought it may be worth mentioning!

See LadyMecca, told you there were intelligent people on here, Thats one of them, just need to wait for the other one.:lol:

 

I know how you feel - that is why I still have my MGF as well as the TF, just could not bring myself to sell it - I sold my Manta GTE that I have had for 8 years instead.

 

Big respect for sticking with the TF. We had a few tears here when we put the F up for sale. One enquiry from a nasty sounding bloke soon put paid to plans to sell.

Hope it all comes right for you too.

Aww hun I'm so glad you're staying! Good on you for following ya heart and not selling her! Have to admit if I was only able to drive Slave 1 up the road and back that would make me a damn sight happier than not at all!

If you ever feel up to it you're always welcome to do a trip to the south coast! We'd love to have ya down here at some point!

Until then, stay strong and when you can - keep TFing! :rocker:

P.S. Don't feel bad about crying - I wailed like a baby when Slave 1 was damaged and that's nowhere near as bad a thought as losing her! I'm suprised you didn't chain yourself to your TF in protest! :lol:

 

Thanks everyone....You are a great bunch on here and I really appreciate your support.

hope to see you at the next MG Fest with all the rest of the lunatics on this forum
