Speaking of incredible acceleration for the money the MG4 is hard to match ..... and so far has cost nothing in fuel
Jim requires quite a bit of work, the roof lining replaced, that means a major strip out inside, the ignition key/remote replaced, needs to go to a specialist locksmith for that, the left hand rear window replaced, shattered in the fire and that is what damaged the roof lining, the left hand tail light replaced because it is melted, the left hand rear wheel guard strapped and resprayed along with the rear bumper .... and of course, the original problem, the auto transmission rebuilt ..... so, not an easy fix to return it to the road, then we need to go through the dramas of getting it registered .... We no longer have any rego papers, so we don't have proof of ownership or the rego papers signed over to us ....... None of those things are insurmountable, but all time consuming.
As far as reselling the trailer, I paid way too much for it, so I'd never get that back, and now I no longer have the money to get the new one made ..... still thinking on what the next move is as far as that goes.
We bought the MG 4 because it will meet a number of objectives, cheap to run .... free a lot of the time, can act as a large storage battery when we have a lot of solar or if we have no solar for a long period .... we can drive it into a town and buy supplies as well as fill the battery to bring it back to the Winnie ...... and hopefully provide the back up battery power to avoid ever having to go into a caravan park again ..... or at least a low priced one for the one or camp ground if absolutely needed.
