[Mgs] MG Cruise Control

[Bob Howard]

   It's been written somewhere that an early MG advert on signs was
"Faster Than Most",  to which witty chldren added "bicycles". 
   "Safety Fast" replaced the unfortunate original wording.  
    BTW--someone recently used "Safety-Fast" in a magazine advert. Ford,
I recall, but I've seen it only once.
