Pink mg
My real name is Mark Hendrickson. I think I was born loving anything with wheels, cars, hot rods, motorcycles...you get the drift.
Well when I was about 3 yrs old, our neighbor who worked at a foreign car dealer (there were not too many of these in 1953) would drive home in a different car every few days. My mother fell in love with one of them, a 1952 MG-TD.
One morning, immediately after hearing her say she loved that MG, I said to her, "Mommy, when I grow up, I'll buy you any kind of car you want." She quickly replied, "You can buy me a Pink MG."
In the late 90's, I actually built a VW based MG-TD replica. I got a NJ vanity plate that read: PINK MG. I've been using the handle Pink MG ever since.
Although it wasn't pink, Mom got to ride in it before she passed away, worrying only if it was going to mess up her fresh hair-do.
