Re: meaning of 'MG'
While visiting my son's 3rd grade class to share what I do for a living, I
chose to share my fun restoring MGs instead. (Especially since being a
Finance Manager for a government contractor is deathly boring - even to me.)
At the conclusion I asked if there were any questions. My son's best friend
asked, "What does MG stand for?" I acknowledged that that was a pretty good
question and asked if anyone knew the answer. Well, my son raised his hand
and said, "Mechanical Garbage."
I guess you know who will be walking to his senior prom.

Re: meaning of 'MG'
I remember reading somewhere in the dim and distant past the disconnection of "MG" from "Morris Garages" was something to do with tax. William Morris wholly owned MG unlike the rest of his empire so I suppose that there was some tax advantage in maintaining the distance.
