Actually, having a car like a Cobra is a form in itself of being a bit chesty, King of the Hill and whatever other cliche you can think of. If we all had MG TD's I bet it would be about a spot of tea and wearing those cute little hats.
To me the Cobra is like being at the Gym and trying to outdo the guy with the really big arms on the curl machine.....Just because you can.
