"Let her heart beat faster" - get an MG for Valentine's Day

Those of you who know me will realise that I can't speak or read Chinese since I have never progressed beyond Lesson One. d'oh (well, not yet, anyway!)

So if I attach an autotranslated Chinese article about getting an MG for Valentine's Day, I hope you will excuse me. It's certainly the only way I could expect to find out about this - and I hope your salesman is like Brecht's Good Person of Szechuan (but when she's being nice!)

well, when I googled for "MG Valentine Offer" I found a post by a chap with the mysterious surname of "K" and the following:
MG DEALERS WANT DRIVERS TO GET THEIR TOPS OFF THIS VALENTINE’S AND HAVE A LITTLE FUN!

...so I then simply had to search the interrent for "get tops off, have fun"(!), I hate search terms that give lots of spurious results!

MG DEALERS WANT DRIVERS TO GET THEIR TOPS OFF THIS VALENTINE’S AND HAVE A LITTLE FUN!
04.02.09

With Valentine’s day fast approaching MG Dealerships* across the UK are
encouraging motorists to get their tops off and have a little fun! To
help them out they are launching a special offer of free roses or
chocolates aimed squarely at couples with romance in mind.

The tops to come off are of course the hard tops that come as standard
on the MG TF LE500 sports cars. The exclusive offer will be available
for one weekend only over Saturday and Sunday the 14th and 15th of
February.

The dealer’s Valentine’s offer goes like this. Test drive** the LE500
on Saturday the 14th or Sunday the 15th of February and not only will
they help you get the hard top off, to prove to you that top down
motoring can be excellent fun even in February, but they will also
offer a rose or chocolates to everyone taking the drive.

As well as the Valentine’s Day incentive, if a test drive leads to an
order for an MG before the end of February your new car will come
complete with chocolates and a dozen roses.

*Offer subject to availability. Please check with your chosen dealer to confirm their participation in this promotion.

**Test Drives subject to Dealers’ Terms and Condition. Please check with your dealer for details.

MG TF is more romantic than diamond - Valentine's Day gifts


February 14 (Valentine's Day) a special day for the whole world. Valentine's Day Festival, also known as St. Valentine or St. Valentine's Day (English: St. Valentine's Day), although it originated in the West, but now has become a global festival. On this day couples will give each other token gifts of expression, this year what you will send to express your love it? Is a rose or a bouquet; is a huge diamond ring or a wealthy romantic passion convertible?

Today we introduce you to a car is so - MG's MG TF sports car. MG TF is synonymous with classic and style, its been hailed as the automotive world of Burberry. Then open the world's most famous encyclopedia "Encyclopedia Britannica" as you query the term sports car, you will find the MG TF. She was as a sports car the authority of example, and became the protagonist of the term of the illustrations.

Interesting how different brands have different connotations around the world. Don't think the MG Car Company would be rushing to say

MG TF is synonymous with classic and style, its been hailed as the automotive world of Burberry.

that one in the picture looks nice, though!

yes, it looks as though the Twin Towers in Manhattan have been replaced by a Tower Bridge the size of Kent's new White Horse!

It's funny, I got a great book about St. Pancras Station for Christmas, and the huge Gothic bit you see from the street - Scott's Midland Hotel of 1868 - was completely out of fashion later in the Victorian era. Yet Tower Bridge - extremely Gothic - dates IIRC from 1894 and, though presumably very controversial then, now shouts "I'm in London!" to anyone looking.

One of a few select buildings jumbled together for the Thames ident..(Houses of Parliament, Post Office Tower, St. Paul's Cathedral, what's that with the twin white rocket launchers? The Guildhall?)



(ironically Thames's base was in SW Middlesex, in Teddington...)

looking at the MG advert, what does that say top right? MG Nim Jue, Let your heart beat faster? well that IS one way of doing it, I suppose...

China's MG photoshops make me smile.
