Oh, and I suppose nobody has ever walked up to your MG and said "Hey nice car, what is that, a FIAT"? It's the opposite side of the same coin. Don't fool yourself into thinking that because you can't
Yadda, Yadda, Yadda... Blah Blah Blah... OK enough wasted bandwidth with this inane argument! E-Mail amoung yourselves and spare my in-box. Is it just me who can't take any more? Oh, by the way, I fo
Ah, but Trevor, the same can be said about yourself and your defense of modern iron. Let me be the first to acknowledge that modern cars are generally safer, and much more efficient. But from the 70s
<< Oh, and I suppose nobody has ever walked up to your MG and said "Hey nice car, what is that, a FIAT"? Never had that happen.....must not have enough rust on it.... But I HAVE had people walk up to

Upon showing my friends pictures of a BGT, to show them what mine was going to look like before I bought it, my friend, having only seena picture of the rear of the GT said, "Damn thing looks just li
Let's see, HE says the BGT looks like a Pinto, YOU refer to him as "my friend". Shouldn't that be "Former Friend", or possibly "friend who is recovering from his injuries"? Rick Morrison 72 MGBGT 74
