So, you guys may also have heard this morning on NPR...Chop Suey Motor
Works has abandoned its plans to build the MG roadster in Oklahoma due
to "acrimony" with its US partners. No "modern gentlemen" in cowboy
boots and cheap suits any time soon.

no , it was red and brandy new! very odd shaped and looks very
comuter-ish as opposed to sporty.

Chuck:
If you're talking about the blue saloon, that's a 4- year old
ZS. I think Oklahoma is slated for the TF, which is more Spridgetly.
Be that as it may, I will take a wait-n-see attitude. I love MG, but
I'm no modern gentleman. I'm old. I'm slow. And after 30 years, the
Old Woman still whispers "be gentle" when I get out of hand.

Subject: the new MG
the new MG was at sebring. it did not impress me! it looks like
evry other shoe box shaped car with a few accents to change the box
shape!
as of now , i'm not interested in it one bit!
it looked like something GM would roll off an assembly line.
wirewheel.com had it at the event and poersonally , i'm glad
they took it home.
