MG Progress Update 1 – The stereo works, and other things!

Leave a Reply

After having taken the car back to the garage (thank goodness we got it with warranty aye) and have the friendly mechanics look at it they discovered that the muppet who had it before decided he’d try mounting an amp on each speaker. This is possible, but he’d screwed up royally and there was no sound at all.

The head unit worked, but no sound. So the mechanics ended up rewiring the whole system. This would have cost a few pennies to say the least.

They also fixed the ignition issue whereby the car wouldn’t start all the time – this was due to a loose connection to the switch or inside it. They took it apart and sorted that out too.

I can wholly recommend Graham Hilton Cars (Stevenage Road Garage Ltd.) – they’re service is fab. My Corsa, previously my parent’s car, also came from the garage.

Next steps… physical improvements. New MG Badges!

Times – ‘It’s me and Toby versus the World!’

Hi hi, you know when your friend sends an SMS with the line ‘It’s me and Toby versus the World tonight’ you’ve got to be slightly concerned…?

But it’s come as a result of a great friendship re-kindled… many years on! My good friend who I’d known since Middle School had last November suggested we get a Hotel Room at the Sun Hotel in Hitchin, as he’d been there before and said it was great!

And, now we’re working on a project together we’re meeting more often and the hotel, as opposed to the taxi option, is becoming more frequent…. no we’re not ‘gay’. I can see you thinking that right there….. it’s merely to save money! Nought wrong with sharing a room.

The hotel does excellent food, breakfast is included in the price (this alone is worthy of a large percentage of that price), and the rooms are perfectly adequate to return to after a night on the town.

The last few months have been some of the best I’ve had. Lets hope many more similar are still to come!

On that note, I’d like to say that Bliss is crap, Ivory never lets me in, and Que Pasa has shit beer.

Also that The Kings Arms and The Red Heart never let me down but should serve Staropramen!

Rock on!

Finally found a girl I get on with, and she goes.

I introduce to you, Mollie the MG. Two seats, and a 1,8 Litre engine, and she’s a right looker.

Nice alloy wheels, and in a dark silver…. (grey)

She doesn’t take much to get her going quite nice; but to make sure she doesn’t run off I got to treat her gently.

You bet it’s the best car I’ve ever driven and the most fun I’ve had driving at 30.

Thanks Mum and Dad for helping pay the costs – best Birthday present I’ve ever had.
