Hi Jonmac,

My understanding is that it began as an insult from devotees of another make of
sports car, referring to the common orgin of the Fergusen engine and the TR
engine.  I believe it's now become a matter of pride to refer to it in that
manner, highlighting it's toughness and durability.

Or at least that's how "I" look at it.
