Can't take full credit for the Lucas quote it is from another site I frequent. But I pick on the British because I have a LBC and it is the most frustrating yet sporty car I have ever owned a 1974 Jensen Healey. Lets see you buy a car own it for 7 years without being able to drive it pay twice what it is worth to fix it up and see how you feel. I think I am finally going to have it road worthy and driving next week or the week after
