Plenty of sap MG wannabes have bought the 'F' have they not?! The latest
insult is the 'BRM' 200 series, I ask you it's pokey little hatch back.
There is also a BRM coloured mini doing the rounds from rover at least
it's racer-like on the inside and has 160 bhp. The BRM hatch (re badged
rover 200) has got an
orange grill (yuck) and a wood steering wheel, nowt wrong with that but
it doesn't turn it into a LeMans winning gas turbine relative.
I'll eat my words however if they make a new triumph that pisses allover
the MGF!!!
