In the pursuit to find the darkest corners of the automotive world, somehow we've ended up with an MG TF instead of a V8 Porsche. A wise man says once you shift your life focus from material goods and focus on experience, it doesn't need to cost a lot to have fun. So with the absolute bargain basement of mid engine, RWD soft-sports cars at our disposal, is this MG TF the most fun you can have for under a grand? There's only one way to find out...And it's going to involve some skids and coffee with Paul in the next episode of "divorces on driveways."

1:32
narrow extra jiggly route on our way to
1:36
offload the
1:38
Porsche and uh pick up an
1:42
mgtf the decisions were made poorly
1:47
poorly so what happened was uh the we
1:51
advertised the Porsche immediately
1:53
there's an immediate immediate request
1:55
to sell the Porsche the Porsche had
1:57
started ran driven been faultless
2:01
for before it left France and after it
2:05
left France a very nice man came to have
2:08
a look at it and Paul started it up that
2:12
morning to show our our one armed friend
2:14
Steve and it was perfect and then the
2:18
guy came like a 4-Hour trip to look at
2:20
the Porsche and it wouldn't
2:23
start it started no
2:26
more we we both spent time trying trying
2:30
to get it to start and and scratched our
2:33
heads and realized that that's not
2:34
really our forte in life but the guy
2:36
liked it so much he bought it anyway and
2:39
we are picking up an mgtf off him yes
2:42
which we know nothing about I'm already
2:45
trying to sell it as my
2:47
challenge

2:50
rambling that's what's
2:55
happening we have arrived to drop
2:58

3:04
emotional Porsche is offloaded so let me

3:14
[Music]
3:19
mgtf they do know how to build a road
3:22
okay things have escalated quickly uh
3:25

4:08
happiness and whether you can have as
4:10
