I'm pretty sure that's either an MG F or an MG TF

definately one of those

YF19pilot · February 7th, 2006, 4:59 AM

I'm going to go with the MG on this one...

VWKafer · February 7th, 2006, 5:03 AM

MG TF

BerserkerCatSplat · February 7th, 2006, 5:05 AM

MG F/TF gets my vote as well.

flamingice · February 7th, 2006, 5:15 AM

To be honest, I had no idea what car it was, but after I've looked at photos of the MG, I'd have to go with that as well.

Those photos are incredible though... images/smilies/eek.gif

What happened... just freezing rain?

Monabaker · February 7th, 2006, 6:08 AM

I'm still not convineced. It's close to the MG F and MG TF but that air scoop really doesen't look the same, and the lines below the door....I'm not 100% sure yet. Post a comparison of the two and convince me...

Bingo

What about a Lotus Elan?

monkeymax · February 7th, 2006, 12:21 PM

It's definately not a Lotus Elan (lower car + the Elan doesn't have that side scoop).
It's not quite right to be the TF
I'm gonna go for it being a 2000-era (or as someone said 2001) MG-F. However, I'm still not certain as both the front and rear look a little too squashed and there's a bit of a bulge in the front bumper I wouldn't expect...
Of course with the ice on it the shape isn't exactly the same, so it's difficult to be sure...

Kebab gud · February 7th, 2006, 1:05 PM

its a MGF .. no dought..

flamingice: Whindy and hellacold water from the lake has been blown onto the cars...
happend 2-3 years ago

Carsightings · February 7th, 2006, 1:45 PM

mg for sure

IVIaster · February 7th, 2006, 3:52 PM

Can anybody post a pic of this mg so that we can compare

bone · February 7th, 2006, 4:23 PM

http://www.mg-rover.org/images/stock/tf.jpg

definately the same car

what's with the "respect" thing though?

Kebab gud · February 7th, 2006, 4:35 PM

no its not .. that is a MGTF .. the ice-car is a MGF
The key? .. the side air scoop..

Oh and here is a nother picture of the ice-car ..
it shows the round headlights of the MGF ... not the MGTF

http://www.mgcars.org.uk/pics/finice.jpg

the reson why its more ice on the first picture is due to the fact that it was left there a few days images/smilies/tongue.gif

Those pics are from last year's Geneva(not sure) ice storm.

It was in Switzerland I think. Not sure which city.
