How do you treat your MG4?

[Rolfe]

There was no room at the camp site so I just ran the car into this old quarry and slept here for the night.

Spotted this roof rack (maybe not really a rack) on PlugShare on a MG4 charging in Northam

I thought the MG4 wasn't type-approved for a roof rack - or is that just a UK / European thing?

 

[DixieTGS]

Just the UK I believe. They forgot to do it with the rest of the type approvals most likely, and now they can't be bothered.

According to the 2024 brochure it is approved for the ER and XPower.

I haven't washed mine since I got it last Sept, it's a commuting car for me nothing more and nothing less. Was also very handy when I needed to move 3 tonne of turf and soil a few weekends back.

How do you get away with that?

All your windows must be filthy, as well your lights and numberplates???

Living rurally there is always mud on the roads and I can't get away with more than a couple of weeks without cleaning, at the very least, the lights, the plates and windows.

I'm in Scotland, it rains sufficiently to keep it clean enough

I just drive it like I would any other run of the mill hatchback or even the Mustang I have owned previously. I take care of it of course but its a car, I expect it to do car things, whether that is a supermarket trip, long distance drive, or as I am doing now, regular trips to the airfield with a boot full of tools to work on my aeroplane.

Well we are (mostly) driving an MG Fore!

Drive mine everyday. And quite quickly.
But I'm careful were I park, etc, etc.
As for having a Putting Green in the back,
Jesus Wept! No!

I'm the same although my two greyhounds are trying their best to smuggle a green into the back a little at a time

First parts of that video with all the bouncing around, he could have been driving on Victorian back roads or even highways for that matter. Our two Priuses get driven where some 4 x 4's would think twice, but I'd like to see an MG4 driven where I've driven in my '74 VW Kombi.
Water crossings don't count unless the water is higher than stub axles, muddy roads don't count until you end up sideways across the road (read moving mud) because the front wheels chose a different track to the back wheels ....... and what about driving in the sand hills.
When the river flooded and the road went under, the Kombi was the last vehicle to navigate through to the access road that climbed up the hills behind the house, from then on it was bush bashing tracks from the parking spot on the hill behind the house, up a one lane track cut into the side of rockface, then bouncing from one rock to the next till we reached the dirt road. The prius and the kombi did it easily, there were a few that got stuck and the farmer had to drag them out with the tractor.
If my MG4 51 won't go places the Prius has, then it will be on the market .... although, I might need to add airbag suspension so it doesn't belly out

Mine took me on a 90+ mile round trip to the theatre last night. Got home at 11pm. 11.30-5.30 he recharged to 100% for peanuts to leave again at 9.15 to take a friend to a hospital appointment. 72-mile round trip. He'll recharge again tonight so he can take another patient to a different hospital tomorrow morning for cataract surgery, 104-mile round trip.

It's all go.

It's all go.

How many miles has Caliban done now?
