Re: Revived MGs

Just to make it ever so slightly less off topic...did you realise the chassis
for the latest MG sports car, the MG Xpower SV is made in Italy and then
transported to the UK for finishing. The first three months production are
already sold. Its lean, mean and very very fast. In fact it is an
unrecognisable rework of a car called the Qvale. MG Rover bought the whole
project as it foundered and saved themselves a bundle of development and type
approval costs. Now they have put right most of the things that were wrong
with the car. Look at www.mg-rover.com  for more detail.

I drove home last night in my 4.3 litre 10 cylinder Skoda.....Oh alright
then...the engine on the trailer was a 3 litre 24Valve Alfa 164 engine in what
seems to be excellent condition......At Last!
