Who wrote that? What are his credentials? Where did he get that
information? I'm not trying to refute the claim, but let's not forget
that just because something is in writing doesn't necessarily make it
fact.
I no longer care what MOWOG really stands for. As far as I'm concerned,
it means "Hey Chip, I might be an MG part. Get me off this flea market
table and take me home".
And I know someone who had a dog called MOWOG the Wonderdog. Rotten
little car-sick Jack Russell Terrier. Threw up in my TC out on the
Skyline Drive many years ago.
