MG respect?
I admit to buying some crappy car magazines but i'm glad i did when i saw this.
In a feature called britians worst driver MG drivers took forth with the footnote stating "most MG's deserve to have accidents to be fair, just to take them off the road"
What a bunch of w*nkers.

Probably true though. Most MG drivers drive like complete tw@ts, ZR owners with 1.4 engines trying to take on the world, ZS180 owners thinking we have fast cars (are they b0110cks !) when diesel Astras are faster and ZT owners thinking they are in an M3 competitor. I drive daft sometimes, we all do. You reap what you sow.

I wonder if they are including Rovers in their figures too.
I have to say that i sometimes have my moments, but to categorise the driving sytle by car make is stupid. I could be in a Nissan... It's because of the big price drop since MG-R went bust and they look sporty as stand that chavs and boy racers buy them.

But isn't that part of why we bought them to a certain extent? They haven't all the usual refinements to make the drive all smooth - more of a drivers car...
