My point exactly, Jay. However I'm afraid our thin-skinned Brits are
feeling a bit defensive. After all they've had to look at MG Metros and
other truck since 1980. I suppose we should pity them.
The scary part is that one of my high school students asked me what kind of
car I was driving. I replied that it was an MG. She said, "I know
because I read the badge, but what is it?".
Where do you start with your explanation?
Enough said.
