You have a Austin Healy 3000? I love that car! I used to own a TR-3, a TR-5 and a MGB. Actually the fron of my Mini kinda reminds me of a MGB while looking over the hood from behind the steering wheel.

I let most of my friends and family relatives drive Lulu while I was sitting besides, same thing for my 21 years old son and my 14 year old daughter. She is used with manual transmission as we let her drive her mom Audi and my previous Infiniti on the dirt roads around the cottage for the last 2 years.
In the family, she was the most excited when she saw Lulu in the driveway.
The MCS is a way of life, the most you let your relatives share your experience, better the chances are we see less SUV on the road.
