My *FIRST DRIVE* in the MG Midget!! 😃 . . . . 🔥 IT CAUGHT FIRE!! 🔥 🙁

During our time in Northern Ireland we spent the day with Barry and Laura, who were enjoying the sunshine in the super cool MG Midget! 👍
After a walk round the British sports car Barry let me get behind the wheel to experience it for myself, and he revealed how his ownership of the MG got off to a fiery start! 🔥

    Gotta love a Midget! I did my YTS coach work training in the 80's next to an MG garage in West Hampstead 👍🏻

    Great video. Deffo leave those chrome side strips off, they will only rust the shell one day, it just doesn't need them. Look forward to the giants.

    I was considering those for my Mk1 years ago but someone gave me the halo ones, and now I like how they look different from the original headlights (and I like how they upset the anoraks! 😃)
