Utterly Obscure British Car Humor

 

Some of these had me laughing so hard tears were running down my face. I think most everyone here will see the humor (or is it humour) in these.

My first car was a 68 spitfire, great little car. Then I bought a 77 TR7. :ack: Looked great, way more problems than I could handle. In fact mine was White just like this one, but had real minilite wheels. Sold it and saw it on a flat bed at least 3 times afterwards. This says it all.

Now that is funny.

 

Tom, You do know that the TR7 was designed that way (body style) to be more aero when being towed.

 

Just pulling your chain a little..... :rofl:

:d Martin, I believe it. The first problem I had with that car was that it would accelarate all by itself. I'd be driving around and sometimes when I was in 2nd gear, the car would start accelerating. I'd shift to 3rd as the revs rose, but it would keep accelarating. Couldn't shift into neutral as it would red line. I'd have to turn it off and pullover.

 

Sometimes it would do it again, other times it wouldn't do it for weeks. I gave it to my mechanic for weeks at a time and it wouldn't do it.

 

Went to a British Leyland dealer, told them about it and they guys says, "yeah they have a problem with the electronic Distributor. You need to replace it."

 

Had my mechanic put in a different electronic pick up and presto, problem fixed.
