Bit of a FAQ....
Is there a Illinois MG club??? I'm downstate in Champaign and therefore would
prefer something that meets near me rather than Chicago.
Cheers

Come on you Triumph fans- how about the Morgan in the War of the Roses?
I've heard this one mentioned here, but I haven't seen the movie. I
believe that one enraged spouse (The wife?) ran over the others Morgan with
a Big-foot like pickup truck. Rather messy.
The car was actually totaled. The body wasted, and the frame bent beyond
recovery. What happened to that Morgan? Was it sent to the crusher? Turned
into a planter?
The answer is...
It was rebuilt, and is currently being vintage raced! I saw this car at a
VSCCA race at Pocono in May. The owner had a picture of the bigfoot atop
the Morgan, with a letter of athenticty from the movie studio. The car was
basicly rebuilt from scratch, with very little besides the engine being
savalageable.

over the cliff in so many movies?- Garnett
