So who else drove into work?
It was a bit chilly at speed down the country lanes, so I'm very pleased I dressed warm. Got some thumbs up from people at a bus stop, oncoming
drivers flash and wave. Its all lots of fun. So who else is making the most of the weather?

Would have loved to but not very safe to park it at work on the main road with HGVs going up and down, but will be out tonight when i get in from
work weather permitting.
Hope the weather is ok for the weekend.
Think about it, think about it again and then do it.

I have my first MOT tomorrow, so I will be driving it (via work) to the MOT station tomorrow if I manage to put it all back together again tonight...!
I can't wait!

It’s 80 miles each way, your darn right I drove ;-) lol Sorry if off topic.
The beauty of a build is not the build or the drive when it’s done, it’s the sneaking the funds slowly past the wife as she remains blissfully
unaware!

Wish mine was on the road so I could have. Though doubt work would approve of me using it for appointments.

I've driven mine 3000 miles through the winter  certainly saves all this defrosting windows!
Even drove it in the snow, and got a mention on radio driving down the M4 in snow

Hats off to you driving in that weather, i got some strange looks last week when dropping mine off to get the carbs sorted and it was just starting to
rain.
Lots of thumbs up and even form a Lotus driver, just want to get it back now but looking at the weather i would not get much use from it
Think about it, think about it again and then do it.

I can't really contribute to threads like this.
An MGF is no more complicated than pop the roof down and go with the heater turned up a couple if clicks if required.
I almost prefer it at night.
Zing, there's the red line :-)

Last 3 days, only problem is earlier start to miss traffic, later leave to miss traffic. Certainly some interesting looks driving through Handsworth,
needless to say the laptop doesnt sit on the passenger seat or footwell.
Keep seeing a red westie (?) going the other way- big smiles both ways.
