Would love to own a MG Montego one day, they look fantastic.
Ha.... I had a similar first driving exsperiance at 10 years old. I was sat on my dads lap, driving his montego turbo, going down hangers straight (on the infield) at silverstone. He let me control the wheel but I couldn't reach the pedals. That didn't bother me because we were doing 110mph anyway . Got a pic somewhere.

Funneily enough I still have that car and have been giving it a lot of tlc and upgrades recently. It would kill my 180 and thats no slouch. wouldn't be suprised if it was quicker than my porsche.
