If the thing has an english electrical system, it's doomed!

Just an off-the-wall question, did you ever own a MGB? Or any other British sports car? It sounds like you did.:)

No. Heard enough stories. Then what happened to the european mars probe (beagle??) with the english electrical system tied it all together.

Me too!

And British airplanes caused similar sufferings.

Bloody Dart Heralds and Vickers Viscounts and early Comets were monsters.

They didn't call Lucas "the prince of darkness," for nothing!

I owned a Triumph motorcycle that had a headlight system that would leave you in the dark at 80MPH without warning. I think it said Lucas on it. It was exciting to say the least.
