ok... call me a purist but this is a bit over the top

I once received a comment from an MG enthusiast who said ''your Fiat is the best MG ever designed''

I replied, your MG is built on a truck chasis.

Round here classic foreign cars are extremely rare so what usualy ends up happening is that whenever two foreign classics cross paths we give a little toot of the horn, wheter it be an MG, VW, Triumph, Alfa or Austin Healy.

I dont think any of us will be over critical of personal modifications but sometimes people are just asking for it.
Take the big black bumpers for example, the recent trend in the 124 Spider community is to remove them, Tom Tjaarda the designer of our cars has even said that a little more attention should have been dedicated to the design of these bumpers.
