"I S ay T here!"

Cheeky Thoughts on

Motor Cars

" Philip enjoys driving and does it fast ! He

has his own tiny MG, which he is very proud
of--he has taken me in it, once up to London,

which was great fun, only it was like sitting on

l
the road, and the whees are almost as high as
ones head."
'
The then HRH Princess Elizabeth, writing in a letter to a friend in 1947,
the same year that she became both engaged to and married Prince
Philip, the owner of that tiny MG.

MG Smile

"Smiling is infect ious, you cat ch it like t he flu
When someone smiled at my MG t oday I st art ed smiling , t oo.

I drove around t he corner and someone saw me grin.

When he smiled, I realised I'd passed t he MG love t o him.
I t hought about my MG and realised what it 's wort h.

A single smile it causes can t ravel around t he eart h.
So, if you see my MG, don't leave it undet ect ed.

St art a loving MG smile and get t he world infect ed."
