Well lets see.
How about:
If you watch enough, sooner or later you're gonna get to see an MG.
I think the last one I say was on "Inspector Morse" . Morse and faithful
sidekick were on the way to question a suspect when said suspect past
them at a high rate of speed in an MG. Shortly thereafter, suspect
crashed and rolled the B. Everyone got a really good look at the bottom
of an early B.
I should have taped the re-run, so as to have a reference when working
under my car.
