The Laws for British Sports Cars
""

He missed the most important law of all. I'm not sure of the precise wording, but it went (and most likely still does) somewhat as follows:

Every British sports car shall be manufactured with not less than four, and not more than six, leaks, such that every person in the vehicle shall have wet knees, ankles, or feet immediately upon some careless passer by spitting on the pavement (sidewalk). The extra leaks shall allow ingress of water to the spark plug leads, ignition coil, or distributor cap, causing frequent stops to lift the bonnet (hood) and apply dry cloths.

This shall collectively be passed off with a shrug, a smile and a comment about the joys of open air motoring.
