The Laws for British Sports Cars 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 totally devoid of any meaning." This law explains why British cars have spectacularly bad names, like "EType", or worse yet, "MGB-GT."
The Laws for British Sports Cars LAW OF NON-FUNCTIONAL ATTRIBUTES "All British sports cars, regardless of condition or age, shall always have at least one system or subsystem of components which is entirely non-functional, and which cannot be repaired except on a semi-permanent or semi-functional basis." (Also known as the "Lucas Electrics Law".) The Laws for British Sports Cars LOVE OF HARDSHIP LAW "The more a British sports car malfunctions, breaks, and/or falls apart, the more endearing it becomes to the owner." You buy a British sports car. You have had it a year and a half and have replaced every item on the car at least twice. When the engine is started, it sounds as if someone has thrown a handful of ball bearings into a blender. But when someone offers to buy it, you are offended because "it is like part of the family," and besides, "it is so much fun to drive." British sports car owners often stare into space and smile a lot. *** http://www.team.net/the-local *** Your messages not reaching the list?
