For anyone who owns a British car the name Lucas usually means trouble. It seems that Lucas electrical components are… unique in the way they function. In our case with Tink (our classic Mini), it seems that the switch for the brake lights had broken, causing them to remain on at all times. This resulted in being pulled over by a friendly police officer. Don’t even ask about distributor and rain. Jokes about Lucas parts are all over the place. The Lucas motto: “Get home before dark.” “Why do the British drink warm beer? Lucas made their refrigerators too” Lucas is affectionately called “The Prince of Darkness.”
Oh boy… trying to be on time and everything come down to what are my priorities. This one was published the right day, just a little late. I am sorry. I’d say I promise it won’t happen again, but as Mary Poppins would remind me that is a “Pie Crust Promise.”
So this really did happen Sue and I were driving through McCordsville, Indiana and got pulled over by a police officer who first was taken aback that Sue wasn’t driving, but then as a parting shot said “Oh, love your license plate.” We get that a lot and with the classic Mini more times than I can count. People just love to talk about “that cute little car!” Then again, so do I.
