I pulled my minty new spitfire into the gas station last night to
guess what, get gas. Anyway there was a kid sitting in the back of a
pickup filling in front of me. He looked at my spit and said "Nice
car man, is that an MG".

Hey Brad,
I wonder if the kid's parents make him ride in the back of the truck because,
you know, the boy.... just.....ain't.......quite.........? :>)
The "Is that an MG?" question sure has been around a long while! Over the
years, I've heard it many times.
There are few cars that most everyone can identify. I doubt anyone ever asked
a Corvette owner the MG question!! When I drive my TVR, the question I hear
most often is "What IS it?" Peter's question to the MG driver, (Is that a
Triumph?) had me rolling. The next time I see an MG, I'm going to ask the
driver the same question just to see how he responds!
Back in the eighties, a buddy bought a SAAB 900-S. The question everyone
asked him was "Is it a turbo?"
