Anything planned for the MG4?
It's just leased so probably not much. Couple of cosmetics only I'm sure.

A company called the scratch doctor. Very helpful

And the Subaru has gone. End of another adventure, bit sad really as I didn't get to enjoy it as much as I would have liked with all the work that needed doing and the wife hating it! Ended up loosing a good chunk of money on this one. Oh well it happens, it wasn't so long ago it was a given for all but the most exotic cars, so I shouldn't grumble.

It's gone to a good home, a very nice gentleman who has a long history with Subarus and does custom remaps. Not sure you see this Tim but if you do, hi!

Shame it had to end so soon, but at least you've scratched an itch. How are you finding the MG?

Yep itch scratched (albeit not very well).
MG so far seems really good, astonishingly fast, pretty well made, comfy and it's nice having all the gadgets and gizmos. No long trips yet to properly test it out but a few things coming soon...

Shame the Subaru has gone after the work / money spent on it. Annoying when the next owner reaps the benefit of your time / cash when you’ve not had chance to enjoy it.

Yeah agreed. Just the way it works sometimes. I am really pleased it's gone to a good home and to.someone who will continue to enjoy and improve it.
At one point I was worried I would end.up having to break it which would have been very sad.
