Kev, how many Shredded Wheat have you had this morning?

Far too many in my book

Ah, answer!, I call mine an MG, others say Rover, I say whatever!

I don't really care as I own it and I drive and I wipe the floor with my 'Rover'.................then they don't call it a Rover................oh no far too embarrassing for them to be whipped by a humble Rover!

Mine is an MG made by the MG Rover group. So it isnt an MG it is an MG/Rover.

I cant understand why people are so worried about their car being called a rover. I mean it was longbridge engineers who designed both and IMHO Rovers were very good 2 (i mean any of the Tseries turbo'd cars would give the ZS180 a dam good run for its money). I am proud of my cars heritage and the fact it was designed with the slush fund money from a failing company. I mean look at it this way if they had the multi million pound design budgets of the likes of ford or GM then just imagine what class beaters they would have produced in both Rover and MG flavours.

At the end of the day anyone who puts any of the rover or MG brand down has obviously never driven one and seen just how good they are.

There is no such thing as a MGRover. MG Rover is the group like you said. MG is one brand and Rover another. Simple...... !! so you have a MG

I call it an MG cos thats what the badge says, others say its a fancy Rover...whatever suits, I'd love my car even if it was called a Lada

I love my car (and Karen ofc!) and its an MG.......simple as that.

I really did enjoy driving it today it was a total hoot

I already need more power though....oh and traction....oh and stiffer suspension LMFAO!

Its the best vehicle I have ever owned and I am keeping her!
