This was in Miscellany in the late 1980s
A chap from from Lincs ( I think ) was visiting his pal both had mogs .
He told his wife he would be home for 6pm around 9pm he said got to go the wife will kill me .
He set off on a long trip home as he was in another county ( forgot which ) As he was going down a country lane at a fair old speed a motor bike light was in his mirror and coming up fast .
He thought its the police I have had it , they came alongside and the riders arm pointed for him to stop .
He pulled into the side and got out . Two on the bike the one in control of the bike got off followed by the passenger . Pulled off their helmets and spoke .
It was two Germans a man and woman , and not English police as he thought .
The man said he needed the bushes and went off .
The German girl asked what make of car was it .
A Morgan she got excited and was overjoyed . But why does your bonnet have no louvers in it . Oh it's just the way it came not a lot like that he said.
She said to him I am going to tell you something but dont tell my boyfriend . We are on holiday he is a mechanic and he said to me . " If we see an English car you know the name of and I do not , I will marry you. " We saw your car he said MG because of your bonnet and I said I will tell you in the Morgan ( meaning in the morning in German ) He thought I said Morgan as in car make . Please dont tell him . Out came the chap from the bushes . "What make is it ", a Morgan , why does the bonnet not have any louvers . " Its just a rare one and came that way. He turned to his girl friend and said " I SUPPOSE I WILL HAVE TO MARRY YOU NOW " .
They said goodbye but before they climbed on the bike the German girl grabbed the mog owner and planted a huge kiss on his face . Off they shot.
The mog owner climbed back into his mog and thought oh well just anther odd or normal thing for a mog owner , the wifes going to kill me for being this late .
Arrived home more near midnight instead of 6pm stuck the car in the garage and went in the house his wife sitting waiting . Hello love you are never going to guess what happened to me tonight .
WHATS THAT LIPSTICK DOING ON YOUR FACE .
was her reply .
