I "borrowed" this from another forum as I thought you all would enjoy!

You might own a LBC…..(Little British Car)


"With apologies to Jeff Foxworthy I came up with this list of warning signs that may indicate you are into LBC ownership! Can you add some more?" And my apologies to both of them! :smile:


If you’ve ever bought a rare part for your car, even though you didn’t need it… you might own a LBC…

If you’ve ever given that part to a fellow car owner not so much because he’s a nice guy but rather because you can’t stand the thought of his car sitting idle… you might own a LBC…

If you can eat off your car's engine right now but have to spend half an hour clearing your dinner table before meals…. You might own a LBC…

If most of the magazines you take off that table are priced in "pounds" you might own a LBC...

If you've ever seen your wife cleaning snow off of her car because yours, the one you never use in winter, is in the garage…. You might own a LBC...

If you know the firing order of your engine, but sometimes have trouble remembering the names of your grandchildren… you might own a LBC...

If you actually understand such terms as LMH, RR 363, SZ, T-1, S-1, S-2 and a long list of others…. Then you might own a LBC...

If you use those terms in everyday conversations…. Then you definitely own a LBC...

If you know the names of every owner of your 60 year old car from day one…but barely know the person who lives two doors away…. then you might own a LBC...

If you are frustrated because you can’t seem to find all of the above information, you might own a LBC...

If you’ve ever spent more than 30 per cent of the total value of your car to make it "just right"…. Then you might own a LBC...

If you’ve ever spent more than 60 per cent of the total value, and were happy to do so… then you definitely own a LBC...

If the thought of spending more to maintain your car than it does to maintain your house doesn’t bother you in the least…. You might own a LBC...

If you don’t think that a “Bonnet” is something a lady wears or that a “Boot” is found most often on a cowboy…. You might own a LBC...

If you wash your car more often than you wash yourself… you definitely own a LBC...

If you’ve ever taken apart a door just to speed up a slow window…and then bragged about it…you might hown a LBC...

If your idea of a perfect vacation includes stops in places called “Goodwood”, “Crewe” and “Derby”….you might own a LBC...

If you know that “Derby” is actually pronounced “Darby” by the locals…you definitely own a LBC...

If you spend more time with your car than you do with your wife...and can't understand why all the fuss...you might own a LBC...

If spending 800 dollars for a set of headlights sounds like a bargain...you might own a LBC...

If, even though you've never actually met him face to face, you know Donald Healey or Alec Issigonis better than your own brother... you might own a LBC!

If at least half of this list reminds you of yourself...you DEFINATELY own a LBC!
 
Guilty on all counts! :wink:
 
Mickey Sent you a note with one of your e mails.
 
If you know "offside" isn't just for sports...

and which side of the car it is, then you're really an LBC person, or British....
