Don't know if this applies. I went to a PCA (Porsche Club of America) meet,
in Harvard Massachusetts, several years ago in my MGB (just to look at the
Porsches.). I parked next to a Ferrari (really, only space available). We
were the only non-Porsche cars there. Guess what two cars got the most
attention ?

Subject: Re: Weird MG encounters- humorous maybe?
I'm really not sure if this counts. More funny than weird.
My corvette-nut coworker invited me to a hot-rod show a month ago.
The folks were friendly enough to let me in, lots of very cool
muscle cars
and hotrods as I pulled in...dirty/funny looks, but no derogitory
remarks to
my face.
Feeling somewhat self-concious, I parked in the back (it was late).
I went to find my friend (the corvette guy, retired Sergeant Major
now
working as a "slimy contractor")
He was happy I'd shown up, and when he saw where I was parked, he
insisted I
put my car in a more obvious spot we found.
As I pulled in to the new spot, a boy (about 11-12) hollered "hey!
Austin
Powers!!!",and ran over to the car. Everyone had a good chuckle, but
I
wasn't sure...so I said, "Hey, man, this isn't a Jagoooarrr...this
is an MG!
Get it straight, man, Jags ain't my bag, baaby!....
The kid gave me a strange look and ran back to his parents....Oh
Well!
