Since the weather is a hot topic this time of year, I thought the following
might be appropriate to forward to the group.
Curiously, British cars are not mentioned (I guess ours are Fordz anyway, so we
could get lumped in with the American cars). But we know that whether or not
British cars start doesn't depend on the weather. It depends mostly on the
quality of your latest sacrifice to the Lucas gods, and on the nut behind the
knob.
