Tribute to Lucas

["Warren, Howard" <HKWARREN@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Over the weekend I received an "interesting" email from an MGB fanatic.  On
my web site (http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/scuderia_warren) I had
mentioned the old joke "Lucas electrics: why the British drink warm beer"
and the MGB owner took me to task.

So what I would like to do is add a new page to my web site: a tribute to
Lucas and British Leyland.  But I intend to do it as a roast, not a
testimonial.  So I'm asking all my Alfisti friends to email me their
one-lines and short jokes about Lucas/BL.  Here's what I have so far:

MGB: proof that old tractor engines can live on.

MGB: from the front, looks like a hamster wearing a baseball cap.

Lucas Refrigerators: why the British drink warm beer.

Lucas: created the first multi-setting headlamps.  Dim, flicker, off.

Lucas: inadvertently created the first intermittent windshield wipers.

etc., etc.  If I get enough good zingers, I'll put them on the site and
credit the person who first emailed me.
