You'd think it would be somewhere wouldn't you?
Well, did you know that MG stands for Morris Garages?
DB (as in Aston Martin DB7) stands for David Brown!
SS (as in SS100 Jaguar) stands for Swallow Sidecars - Jaguars original name before the war brought about bad connections with the symbols SS.
Loads of useless trivia in my brain. :smartass:

The 'S' in Mini Cooper S doesn't stand for anything, it just sounded good.
