I had a neighbor 25 years ago who insisted that my then BJ8 was an MG. When
I told him to look at the badge, he said as far as he was concerned it was
still an MG. Of course, he had a beer in his hand and this was in Staten
Island, NY. If I offend anyone, sobeit. True story. Last I heard, he was
still with a beer in his hand still single still bumming around the
neighborhood.

Carlos,
I had a similar incident several yearss ago with my BN7. A fella looking
much like he was fresh off of a bottle of wine was standing along the curb
at an intersection. He yells "Nice Cobra!"
I tell him "It is not a Cobra. It's an Austin-Healey"
He looks it over again for a few seconds and replies "No, it's not!"
So I let it go and drove off.
