Just for Walter

If one or more of these is true, unfortunately, you are driving a Triumph

You look in your rear-view mirror to see two people with their hands on your bumper.

You constantly receive sympathy cards from the Department of Transportation.

When you are walking across the parking lot, you see a priest performing last rites on your car.

While stopped at traffic lights, other motorists offer to help push to get you started again.

You have preferred customer status at O'Reilly Auto Parts.

You have to stop along side the road at least once a day to pick up parts that have fallen off.

You leave your keys in the ignition and a $20 bill on the dash for gas money in hopes that someone will steal your car.

When you drive though town, people stop what they are doing and just start laughing.

In place of a spare tire, you find a pair of running shoes.

Thought that was an MG joke? Although in the MG joke, if you looked in the rear view mirror of your MGA and saw two people pushing you knew you had just tripled your horsepower.

 

[Radford]

Walter, come on man, you can do better than that.

 

[waltesefalcon]

Rad,

I was being serious. I remeber this as an MG joke from a year or two ago.

hey! All parts falling off my car are of the highest British quality and standards.
And my TR4A has never had a key! I figure if someone can get it started to steal it, God help 'em.
I still love my 'rumphs!

These things MAY be true but the only reason they are is the fact that 'rumphs are at least on the road and not sitting in the garage in pieces like MG's /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Hmmm, joking about Triumphs. Not sure how I feel about that:

My wonderful little 78 "Rumph".

Hey Basil, you're not getting any ideas with that Jag rear end, are you? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif
Nice little Spit. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif
What's that Pacific rim import doing in the background! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Its kind of a one size fits all joke for LBCs... I think I've heard it applied to them all at one time or another.

Yes, I had the idea that I would put it in my Jag /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

 

[Banjo]

Phew! you gonna eat off that thing or drive it?
Seriously, that is looking sweeeeeet.
I can't wait to see it done...
Someday, someday I'm gonna... (starts drooling while daydreaming)
I gotta get started on my TR2 first.
