This is a truly brilliant explanation of the laws known to every owner of a classic British sports car, shown below as it first appeared in the "Moss Motoring" publication in 1985 (Moss Motors being the Pelican Parts for British sports cars) and frequently quoted (unfortunately often without attribution) ever since.
