This is the Eighth Law of British Motoring:

  Do not boast of how, against type and reputation, your
  LBC has been so very, very, reliable.  It will fail 
  publicly and humiliatingly within 24 hours.

You can cry "but it was just a loose wire!" ever after
that, but the damage will be done.

Speaking from much experience,

'79 Spitfire (Really amazingly reliable, honest.  Urm, no it isn't
running right now, but it's only the regulator, really...)
'65 Vitesse (If the engine were actually in it, it would be really
trustworthy I just know it)
