“There are only two ways to get in and out of an MG Midget sports car – the elegant way or myway. The elegant way is how you see the film stars do it on TV when they arrive at the Oscars. To getin, put your bum inside first and then swivel legs round. Similarly, to exit, swivel legs out, bum last.My way is to get everything but bum in first, leave bum out in the cold for a bit while struggling withother appendages, and then bum can come in. To get out, I simply fall on to the pavement.”
