Tell me why I don't want an MG Midget

Amusingly enough, my thread on the 944 Cup forums ended up with the same conclusion.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

They're out there. GRM (ok, CM) forums point to one or two a month on craigslist.

Amusing, in a not so surprising way, that everyone would think an old Jap car is cooler than an old Euro car.

not necessarily true, I think the Honda S600 sucks every which way.

The Datsun is cool but the Triumph is cooler. MG is bleh but better than an S600

You're on crack. Those things look fantastic. I've actually never seen one in real life nor driven one but they're very intriguing.

I dont know if i'd call a 16 sec 1/4 mile anything to get all excited about.

Besides, you dont buy those cars for their performance anyways.

Yes, it would be fun. I'd love to have a Datsun 1600 - there's one sitting up at Curry's now Smile
