MY LONGBRIDGE CAR HISTORY

[starbug2]

WE HAVE HAD AT LEAST 9 LONGBRIDGE CONNECTON CARS .. INC 3 ROVERS , 4 MGS . SINCE 2005 I HAVE KEPT THAT GOING WITHOUT ANY OTHER CARS BEING SORT.
FROM 2005 WE HAVE HAD A 2003 ROVER 45 WHICH WE HAD ABOUT 2 1/2 YEARS WHICH MADE WAY FOR A2004 ROVER 75 CDTI CLUB SE WHICH I STILL HAVE AND HOPE TO KEEP . THIS WEEKEND I'M GOING TO TRY TO FIX MY ROOF LINING WHICH HAS STARTED TO DROP ... THE CAR IS STILL IN USE MOST DAYS AND I KNOW HAS OTHER STUFF TO BE LOOKED AT LONG TREM .

IN 2010 WE GOT A 1998 MGF WHICH WAS SEEN AT THE CLUB 75 MEET IN THE MIDLANDS . BOTH CARS WERE IN USE , SWAPPING THE CARS TO SHARE THE DRIVING FOR EACH CAR AS I AM LOCAL AND BEV IS AT LEAST A HALF HOUR DRIVE OFTEN MORE DUE TO TRAFFIC ISSUES . IN 2016 WE GOT A MG3 AND USED THE MGF LESS AS THE MILES WERE RISING AND MOST DON'T HAVE HIGH MILAGE ..AND SO WE SHARED THE DRIVING AND EVENTS WITH THE 3 CARS BUT. BECAUSE OF 20 ODD YEARS OF STOP START STUFF BEV WAS HAVING PROBLEMS SO IT WAS DECIDED TO GET A AUTOMATIC . TO KEEP IN WITH MG WE ENDED UP WITH A 2020 MGZS 1 LT AUTO WHICH OVER ALL WAS A GOOD CAR AS WAS THE FIRST MG 3 .

BUT THE MPG WAS NOT WHAT WE WANTED SO WHEN THE MG3 HYBRID CAME IT WAS DESIDED TO SWAP THE ZS FOR THE HYBRYD USING THE MG AFFINTY SCHEME WHICH GAVE A GOOD DISCOUNT AND FREE COLOUR SO ABOUT £2.200 OFF LIST PRICE AND GOT A FAIR TREAD IN FROM THE MG ZS OF £11.500 SO TO BAD FOR NEAR 4 YEARS OF OWNING IT AND GOT IT MUCH CHEAPER AS IT WASAN ABORTED ORDER SO GOT IT FOR ABOUT £3.500 OFF LIST AS OFFIALLY SECOUND HAND ..

SO NOW WE HAVE A 2024 MG3 HYBRID WHICH TO JOIN OUR FLEET AND ITS FELT BEST TO BRING IT TO THE CLUB 75 EVENT IN MAY AS BEV ISN'T ENJOYING DRIVING THE 75 LONG DISTANCE AND OTHER TRAVEL PROBLEMS SHE HAD A WHILE NOW BUT TRYING TO WORK AROUND BEST WE CAN .
WHILE TO DATE THE MG3 IS MUCH BETTER ON FUEL AND DRIVES WELL IT DOES HAVE A ANOTHER SIDE ....... IT IS VERY POWERFUL AND FAST WITH ABOUT 192 BHP A LISTED 0 TO 62 MPH OF 8 SECOUNDS BUT HAS BEEN TESTED AT ABOUT 7, 0 TO 60 BY A CAR MAG SO IT IS VERY MUCH A MG SPEED WISE AND WILL LEAVE MANY A BOY RACER BEHIND IF YOU WANTED I LOOK FOR WARD TO BRINGING THE CAR OVER IN MAY AND SEEING CLUB 75 ONCE MORE
