Bite my tongue or not ?
 
This happens to me quite often , when in conversation about my ZT with other motorists they often refer to the ZT as a Rover ??? I know some people see it as a Rover 75 in a trackuit but come on , cant they see the MG badge on the front,back and steering wheel ? So far ive been able to keep myself in check but one day Basil Fawlty is going to leap out swinging his bush "Right , thats it youve pushed me beyond the point and now your having a damb good thrashing"! Or am i just being touchy . :mad:

By calling it a Rover, they are uplifting you into a higher class of man. Enjoy the dizzy heights! :D:}

You could always correct them and say it's a Jag. ;)

I had to correct my dad's neighbour who referred to my MG6 as a BMW....pfft

They're probably just winding you up, just ignore. Anyway, realistically there's not that much difference between the MGs and Rovers.

Apart from trim, seats, engine tune, suspension etc

"Not that much difference"? Wait until the MG boys read that.......:eek:

Colleagues at work laugh and say its a Rover, I correct them by informing them "It's not a Rover, its an MG, same family, differant stable". 😊

That's funny, I've never heard that before, made me laugh it did. :D

I agree though, seems to fit nicely. :D

The Rover 75 is wearing a suit and tie, the ZT is wearing a tracksuit. :D :getmecoat:
