Sven - we all learned this stuff sometime - NEVER fell bad asking a
question! -I think there were several replies to your post but for
clarity........
>I was following the discussion on the "What does MG stand for"

still not
>sure if MG means anything but I like the idea that it stands just for
MG.
It stands for "Morris Garages"
>For me it is a logical conclusion to the fact that even in official
documents
>you find no other hint.
These days you wont find it other than in history books!! - and for your
own enjoyment
you might seek out a few - MG has a fascinating history!! - also, I know
there is an MG club in germany - the address is on the MGCARS website -
Im sure you can find lots of books locally
>1) never admit to be new to a mailing list related to famous cars
Wrong- unless that is what you choose - if nobody new ever joined we'd
all die like dinosaurs (also our "evil-streaks" wouldnt have anyone to
play with!!)
>2) if you want answers to basic question you better go to a library
sure but feel free to ask as well, as a result of your post, Kai made a
website of FAQs - im afraid i didnt jot the address down but im sure Kai
will read this and likely repeat it to you

Nor should you - F**K 'em if thaey cant take a joke! (English
expression!)
because in east germany there are many

Seen some of them - and those scary cardboard cars!
Stick with it - your son(or grandson) will be restoring your car someday
and He'll ask the same things!
