There was this Mini driver....

One day on the M1 to London, this guy run out of petrol in his Mini.

As he sits on the side of the road, a Jag pulls up to offer assistance. The Mini driver tells the Jag driver that's he's out of petrol.

The Jag driver looks over the Mini, and says, "Right. I've got a bit of rope in the boot, how about if I tow you to the next petrol station? If I go to fast or if there a prob, flash your lights or hit your horn."

The Mini driver thinks that's fine. They tie up, and slowly proceed down the road.

Soon, a Porsche 911 blows past them.

That's too much for the Jag driver, and he takes off in chase.

Harold and Willie are working at the BP station, and Harold says to Willie, "Cor blimey Willie! Did you see that? That Jag was racing that Porsche, and there was a bleedin Mini trying to pass both of them!"

The Lucas head light switch: ON - OFF - FLICKER

Why to the Brits drink warm beer? Lucas refrigerators
What happens when you move that fridge? You see an oil spot on the floor.

LUCAS! Prince of Darkness!

I've been an MG owner for 31 years, I know ALL the jokes!

Ohhh I didn't see that commin'! Hahaha.

You'd think the jag would have been a little sluggish with 3k+ LBS of excess baggage huh?

Yeah, most classic Minis weigh in the 1000-1200 pound range.

How about this: Lucas, they didn't invent the short circuit, but they perfected it!

For those of you who have never had the pleasure of owning a British car, but want to know what it's like: Next big rainstorm, wait till dark, roll down all windows, leave off lights & heater & wipers and go for a drive. Stop at every intersection and throw out a twenty dollar bill. It's not exactly the same, but it's real close.
