Your words describe my thoughts exactly when I was in Germany and saw my =
first MGF, when I inspected it closer, I thought, "not bad, I'd sure =
like to drive it, though..." I couldn't escape the thought that it =
looked, at first glance, like my wife's M**da MX-3! Pardon the =
blasphemy...but put two pictures of these cars side by side, and you =
might see what I'm saying.=20
Alas, my trip to London has been canceled due to "lack of funds". My =
boss, the Colonel, is still going, naturally...hmmph...
I'm happy though, cuz I have a line on a nice '73 B in Tennessee! =

Subject: MGF in paris
Bon jour,
I just returned from a week-long visit in Paris. I had a great time and
everything, including the weather, was wonderful.
I made an effort to rent an MGF for a couple of days while in France,
but to no avail. I did, however, manage to inspect one that was parked
on the street. I must confess, when I first saw the MGF, I did not like
it. I thought it looked too much like every other new sports car. This
particular car was BRG, LHD, and gorgeous. It was parked next to a
little Italian restaurant just off of the Champs-Elysees. Now I really
wish that they were for sale in the US.
I also saw a '69 B that was a real looker. It was RHD and had British
registration. It was parked about a block down from Paris' now infamous
tunnel.
I hope that everyone has a wonderful holiday season.
Cheers,
Mike
