RE: [doc] MG TF

["Colm Nugent" <colm.nugent@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Alas, as a former Boxter-ite I can't swap it for anything.  By the way, I
think the MG hatchbacks and saloons are fine cars - the estate particularly
so.  They don't compete with the Boxter.  I exchanged the Boxter for
slightly more seats when kiddies nos 1 & 2 arrived.
But the MG rag-tops - well,...not for me.  We've both opted for our wholly
impractical choice - the DMC12!

  P.s, Colm,
  If your up for it I would love to swap my wife's rover 75 for your
  Boxter any day if your up for it. (lol)
  From a household where there combined car values have suddenly
  dropped.
  At least the delorean shines strong!
