<< Snobiness is a world wide trait. Come on now.. James drives an Aston,
and a Lotus.. And a B*W. Now that last one should show you where his
loyalty is. Besides I did heard from as friend of mine that the MGB was
considered the Pinto of british sports cars for many years. They
considered the lines much to boxy compared to the MGA and most did not
like it. >>
Randy,
Well, I guess I'm a snob then.
If you'll check out ALL the 007 movies, you'll find that Bond drove more
than the Aston (though admititly it is the most famous), Lotus, and that
latest thing.
JB was seen as the wheel of Sunbeams, Bentleys, AMC and MGB, just to name a
few.
Apparently your "friend" has a bad case of Wanna "B", and is trying to
convince himself that his pinto is just a good as a MG.
As for the last comment, every new model of the MG was greeted by a loud
chorus of "IT AIN'T AS GOOD AS THE OLD ONE". For confirmation, see the recent
thread on this list Re; MGF.
