Perhaps it's appropriate to restate some of the time-proven laws
concerning LBCs.....w/ thanks to Moss Motors who published the entire
list some years ago......
THE LAW OF PECULIAR RANDOM NOMENCLATURE
The name of a British Sports Car shall consist primarily of letters
and numbers, with said letters and numbers chosen in random fashion
so that the resultant vehicle name is wholly devoid of meaning.
THE LAW OF CRYPTIC INSTRUCTIONS
Any book, manual, pamphlet, or text dealing with the maintenance,
repair, or restoration of a British Sports Car shall be written so
that at least every fourth word will be unknown to the average
reader. In the event that any portion of the text is understandable,
the information contained therein shall be incorrect.
THE LOVE OF HARDSHIP LAW
The more a British Sports Car malfunctions, breaks, and/or falls
apart, the more endearing it becomes to the owner.
THE LAW OF NON-FUNCTIONAL ATTRIBUTES
All British Sports Cars, regardless of condition or age, shall always
have at least one system or sub-system of components which is
entirely non-functional, and cannot be repaired except on a
semi-permanent or semi-functional basis.
THE COMPONENT FAILURE LAW (my personal favorite)
Any component of a British Sports Car which is entirely unknown to
the owner shall function perfectly, until such time that the owner
becomes aware of the component's existence, when it shall instantly
fail.
Merry Christmas!
