Default "Its only an MG"

Went to B&Q in Huntingdon today and parked my ZTT in 2 spaces because the 2 cars either side were all ready over the lines so didnt want risk the dents in the doors. Come back to my car and a note stuffed under the wiper saying "what sort of an a55hole parks a car across 2 spaces, its only an MG????" What gets me is what sort of person would be bothered to even write a note? I was in the place for maybe 10 mins. They must have watched me park and waited for me to go in the shop! WEIRDOS ( and there was plenty of spaces)

Could have been worse, it could have read "its only a Rover"

Seems the way most people think.

Good for you parking in two spaces. Your mg deserves its two places. There only jealous because they drive some foreign piece of shhh .. i mean rubbish .
Jealously. That's all it is towards people like us who have taste.

Before they put that new set of badges on your car, it was also a rover.....
Different plastic, cheaper seats.... a ZT is a rover by any other name...

Maybe just me but if there were plenty of spaces why not park where you didn't have to take two places
