I just received my new Moss catalog. From the articles the editor thinks
British car owners are funny. Actually it appears that the symbiotic
relationship between the British car and the owner is funny. The British
car needs an owner to keep it running. The owner needs the British car for
pain, frustration and ecstasy. It works for me!!
