I can see it already. Bill Eastman is warming up his keyboard, writing
first drafts of a new essay about the MGA being the absolute pinnacle of
styling excellence. ;-) Enlighten us Bill!

Subject: Mobil MG signs
Hey MG fans! The other day, I happened to notice that the Mobil Speed
Pass "Season's Greetings" sign on the gas pumps pictures a bear riding
in a green MGA. Always interested in anything MG-related (especially if
I might be able to get it for free), I asked what they will be doing
with those signs after the holidays, and guess what? The attendant had
no idea what an MGA is, and assured me that, yep, they will be throwing
this modern MG art away! So, gang, if you want to save, for posperity,
one of these pieces of modern MG memorabilia, check with your local
Mobil station and ask them to hang onto the signs for you. It would
look great framed and hanging in the garage or workshop.
By the way, are there any Mobil executives out there who might be able
to tell us how it happened that they used a car that's been out of
production for 30-something years for these signs? Is the CEO an MG
nut?

Don't assume that because you have found one problem, you have found the
ONLY problem.
