THE LAWS FOR BRITISH SPORTS CARS
By Don Hayward
...
2. LAW OF CRYPTIC INSTRUCTIONS "Any book, manual, pamphlet or text
dealing with the maintenance, repair, or restoration of a British
Sports Car shall be written so that at least every fourth word will be
unknown to the average reader. In the event that any portion of the
text is understandable, the information contained therein shall be
incorrect".
Corollary of no correspondence to the Law of Cryptic Instructions: In any
book, manual, pamphlet or text dealing with the maintenance, repair, or
restoration of a British Sports Car, descriptive terms of parts in the text
of said book, manual, pamphlet or text must be different than the
descriptive terms of the same parts in all figures and parts lists.
