It's a shame you got rid of that other MGF buggy, that looks really good. Hope it went to a good home. The next one will be even better! 
It would be a shame to make ur off road track, less off road. The tyres on your old MGF buggy looked like they were up for the job.
You are so lucky to have your own personal test track!

i think its going to get altered into a smooth track plus a more bumpy track around that so theres a choice of which track to use and then some sections that will require a rock crawler to get round
i ran the mgf round yesterday it copes with the smooth bits well enough but it is a sports car with low ground clearance and very limited suspension travel so t bottoms out very easily and often want to run an mx5 round and see how that compares ??? and then a suzuki vitara chassis/suspension
and see how that copes

you cant keep everything lol, i sold it to a pal who changed the appearance a bit and then when he emigrated he sold it on ebay so god knows where it is now
this is it after i sold it , standard mgf suspension, filmed from the back of my micra engined buggy, he can out accelerate me easily in a straight line with the extra 800cc but his tyres had little grip in the corners

it was fun indeed
looking at this vid which is my old mgf buggy with a make over it looks like the standard suspension works ok when the body is lifted up out of the way which is what was hitting the ground when i ran the mgf round the other day

Hi Alan in a word no progress, the mgf i bought is running just fine and im loath to strip it for spares at the moment, ive looked on ebay with out success for a pair of mgf subframes, if i can find a pair i can use them to work out how the frame should be shape is crucial to what looks good and what dosent, if i can find a pair of subframes i quiet happy to knock up a couple of frames , ive thrown them away in the past :

Hi Alan no problem at all, will make you one as and when you need it
right ive been and collected my £100 mgf better than i expected if im honest, i thought it was just going to be a rolling shell but it came complete with engine and box out so i have a working driving mgf to chop up
took my favorite 9" grinder and improved the access to the engine
what i was thinking was how about a build it yourself thread where we all contribute ideas, i will make one and post up all the dimensions and people can just pop in have a look and build their own does that make any sense ??
