Aren't you glad its not a fiat?

One poster nailed it "an MG gets what it deserves". Although I doubt the effect would have been the same with the engine in the car.

In good fun. I did see a really nice restored MG in town this past weekend.

That's a typical MGB death, the Lucas wiring is notorious for shorting out and going up in smoke.

Lucas once made a vacuum cleaner. It was the only thing they've ever made that didn't suck.

No cool car should suffer such fate... and just like our Spiders, MGs are cool cars...even the MGA of 1958 with their leaking, piston-burning, plug-fouling nightmare of a motor....

They should have used a 1982 Cadillac Cimarron for that stunt.... heck, they should use a Cimarron for any clip that requires destroying a car...

I hate to see any old sports cars get trashed.

that MG was totaled before the explosion

they made the cimmeron here in SO WI and your right its a joke
a caviler with bells and whistles

you could put bells and whistles on a turd
that doesnt fix crap

rust, rust, rust.

Lotssa good parts were left on it; looks not much different than some of the beat up Spiders that the talented wizards around this forum have brought back to life. But it sure was a pissah explosion! <{:^)

You guys said it best. Cimarron=junk. MG, Spider, etc.. good stuff. I'm not sure there's much room for brand loyalty when you are talking about 30+ year old sports cars. Every time I drive my Spider I'm afraid it might do what that MG did ..haha.

HOWEVER... I might like to see a Miata go that route.

That's not a MGB, it's a midget!

car it didn't deserve to be blow to pieces .
