Again: impressive parallel parking skills required. These are all some beautiful automobiles, gentlemen. (Except for the Chinese MG. Sacrilege.)
There was a time when I would occasionally buy a monthly magazine called MG Enthusiast. Not any more, the editor more or less castigated those MG owners who describe the grafting of an MG badge onto one of SAIC's, run of the mill, forgettable cars, as snobs. "Not a proper MG?" He taunts, of course it's not, just like your SAIC sponsored trashy publication is not a proper motoring journal.Again: impressive parallel parking skills required.

Have you not had the TV series: "Endeavour," shown yet? It's what's called a prequel. It's Endeavour Morse in his early days in the police.
Amongst other cars he gets to drive a Mk2.

Shaun Evans captures the spirit of Morse, perfectly, as he portrays him in his younger days. His mentor is a senior officer name of Fred Thursday, played by the inimitable, Roger Allam. With a nod to the original Morse, there's more than previously shown, press interest. The journalist, Dorothea Frazil, is played by none other than, Abigail Thaw, John Thaw's daughter.
Those of us who were around in the sixties can relate to all the small details, like checking your loose change to see if you have the right coins to use the public telephone. There's iconic images aplenty, I find it compulsive viewing.
