[Mgs] MGs in the Limelight

[Barrie Robinson]

Ron,

I heard that the people who use the cars for shoots just do not care 
a damn about them.  I had an acquaintance who rented his pristine 
Jaguar for an advert shoot.  He visited the site and was horrified to 
see his pride and joy being used to transport lighting 
equipment.  Another I heard was told his car would be driven by a 
"hand" and he said "no".  So they got him to drive it and he got paid 
for that too !!
