That Lucas reputation

As one also interested in automobiles, including British marques, I've heard a long list of Lucas jokes.

One favorite, which seems appropriate here -

Show me an Englishman who drinks warm beer
and I'll show you a man with a Lucas refrigerator.

But seriously, after owning a few MGs and even an E-Type Jag, it still bothers me whenever I see an older Jag for sale with the motor replaced by a Chevy or Ford engine. The Jag engines were quite reliable, it was mainly the Lucas electronics that failed.
