    That's the kind of car my dad had when he met my mom. I've seen pictures of him with the car but I just couldn't remember what it was called.

    & proof that British Leyland engineers put 2 pieces of metal together & invented the oil leak.
    Hahahaha. Nice. I always thought it was the invention of whomever invented the radial engine.

    That car also has the first self-dimming headlights & the first intermittent wipers, both invented by Lucas Prince of Darkness....

    I have a jar of genuine Lucas wiring harness smoke in the trunk just in case my wiring harness decides to release all of its smoke at a inopportune moment...

    The real reason that the English drink their beer warm is because their refrigerators are made by Lucas.

    One minor issue I was made aware of this morning - evidently white foam is an excellent claw sharpening medium. This has me worried about what will happen when I get to the point of covering the real thing in fabric.
