Right! When I need groceries, I take the Packard. If I want to drive in the sunshine, I take the XK 120. If I need an apple, or one banana, I take the MG TD.

Right!  Remember to take along a mechanic when you select the MG for a spin.  Wink

@perrone1 If I recall correctly I believe that MG also included a small tool kit with each new one of these cars as well.  Seriously.
