I agree.
Of course, I can appreciate non-damaging jokes. I used to drive an MG Midget (CURSE IT! It was so fun to drive, but...) and I came out after a party and a bunch of people had moved it to a location I could not get it out of.
They DID all get a good laugh and then moved the car out...:)
But, as you said, this isn’t right, even if I do think it is a metrosexual, sitzpinkler kind of car.
I used to have one, also. Every part that fell off of that car was of the finest British craftsmanship.
LOL...I used to have a beautifully restored '66 MGB, and I know exactly what you mean...Mine had "all the options" including an ash tray, leather seats, AM radio, lap belts and a heater core that generated just enough BTU's that on a cold day, I would have my choice of warmth or a defogged windscreen. It took an origami expert to get the roof on, and which, when assembled, kept about 80% of the rain off the driver.
I loved that little car precisely because it made you REALLY appreciate open air motoring on a beautiful day!
