major major fart!

My son & attended our first car show together since we finished rebuilding his '64 mgb!...Literally, this was the first time that either one of us has driven the car...ever. We got it started and drove it 9/10ths of a mile to a church were they were raising money for a cancer benefit....This is Josh's car. Josh is 18. I own a '59 MGA since I was 16. We arrived a little late, it was popular vote; however, Josh got a "Best in Class Award"...I was so proud because he helped every step of the way in the restoration and Josh was gleeming...I was definitely proud to be a dad today!

That is too cool and totally awesome! You have every right to be proud, as does Josh! Congrats to ya both!!

Way cool!  I make it a practice not to get in a car that's smaller than I am, but my brother had one he loved! Dale

From one ‘proud dad' to another, Big-Ole Congratulations! What a Cool “bonding moment’ (to use sociologist speak) Great “Dad Memory!” Keep it Up! Best Wishes- Dx

Beautiful work. Who's the slim man standing next to your son? Joe

Sweet ride! I had a '63 Triumph TR6 (motorcycle) back in the 90's.  It had 33,000 original miles on it when I bought her, and was "as stock as a rock".  I really enjoyed riding and doing all the work on her, it was a labor of love. I do not like British electronics.  We used to call Lucas the "Prince of Darkness".

here are the "rest of the Lucas jokes"

The Lucas motto: "Get home before dark."

Lucas denies having invented darkness. But they still claim "sudden, unexpected darkness"

Lucas--inventor of the first intermittent wiper.

Lucas--inventor of the self-dimming headlamp.

The three-position Lucas switch--DIM, FLICKER and OFF.

The other three switch settings--SMOKE, SMOLDER and IGNITE.

Lucas dip-switch positions: LOW and BLOW (Bruce Miller, www.hermit.cc)

The original anti-theft devices--Lucas Electric products.

"I've had a Lucas pacemaker for years and have never experienced any prob...

If Lucas made guns, wars would not start either.

Did you hear about the Lucas powered torpedo? It sank.

It's not true that Lucas, in 1947, tried to get Parliament to repeal Ohm's Law. They withdrew their efforts when they met too much resistance.

Did you hear the one about the guy that peeked into a Land Rover and asked the owner "How can you tell one switch from another at night, since they all look the same?" "He replied, it doesn't matter which one you use, nothing happens!"

Back in the '70s Lucas decided to diversify its product line and began manufacturing vacuum cleaners. It was the only product they offered which didn't suck.

Quality Assurance phoned and advised the Lucas engineering guy that they had trouble with his design shorting out. So he made the wires longer.

Why do the English drink warm beer? Lucas made the refrigerators, too.

Alexander Graham Bell invented the Telephone. Thomas Edison invented the Light Bulb. Joseph Lucas invented the Short Circuit.

Recommended procedure before taking on a repair of Lucas equipment: check the position of the stars, kill a chicken and walk three times sunwise around your car chanting: "Oh mighty Prince of Darkness protect your unworthy servant."

Lucas systems actually uses AC current; it just has a random frequency.

How to make AIDS disappear? Give it a Lucas parts number.

Recently, Lucas won out over Bosch to supply the electrical for the new Volkswagens. So, now the cars from the Black Forest will come with electrics supplied by the Lord of Darkness -- how appropriate!

Lucas is an acronym for Loose Unsoldered Connections and Splices.

The Prince's last words to his son: "don't go riding after dark"

Elvis... Too Cool!!! It ain't no Soap Box! But the feeling of pride must be the same, always great to make memories. Can't believe he's 18. Damn where getting old! Need to get a new picture and show everyone what a skinny little ***** you are...... C'ya
