Wonder if they will be using Lucas electrics? If so don't forget to get a can of replacement 'Smoke' as plenty will 'Leak' from the wiring harness 
Headlight Switch Positions:
non Lucas: Hi beam / Lo beam / Off
Lucas: Dim / Flicker / Off

Another thing wasn't it front wheel drive, all true sports cars are rear wheel drive nothing like getting a slide on the back end.
I'd like to them bring the pocket rocket out here the Lotus Elise or Exige, like to see the cop right the speeding report on that one well it was yellow.

I thought the MGF was terrible, slow, horrid pedals (like chocolate bourbons), build quality was awful, reliabilty was terrible, infact the only thing I think MG had going for thier cars were that they started using honda engines
Certainly wouldn't dub it a sports car - more of a hairdressers car
