Another member of the ZS and F club.
Which engine is it, looks like a 160?
Why not a track car?
I've done the monaco in ours!
Once you get used to the different handling they can be thrown around the bends with ease. I'd put the MX losses down to driver error, and besides, a MX5 is not an MG, it's a japanese copy of a british sports car, but MG decided to go for a classic supercar layout instead.

Sorry, just read the post again, it is a 160, the 143 is nippy but driving our ZR160 back to back you feel the extra power so the TF should be quick.

I love Kates TF, Just did a trip to Cornwall in it and its the most economical car we have had between us. Just shy of 400 miles out the tank! Love the 160 though Peter

You little tinker!  that is stunning. I enjoy driving our F when i get the chance, now you know why i would be tempted to have a 160 if i didn't love my ZS like i do.
