Paul,

I appreciate the desire to go MG but to me the soul will not be 
there.  I would rather buy a Miata, prise off the badges and stick MG 
ones on - Having suffered from Chinese made stuff I just wonder what 
the car will be like. Stuff is actually getting worse - I am into my 
4th Cuisinart percolator this year already and 50% of my 
auto-electronics has gone manual.   I will predict that Lucas will 
look like the rock of Gibraltar when the Rhucas electric gear comes 
out with the "MG".
