BMC - bodgy motor cars
ROOTES - rarely opertaional or totalled electrical systems.
Also.. "rootes" in Australia as slang for s3x .. And Rooted is fxxked.... So "rootes" is sort of funny itself.

I was once asked at a bar about dress code when i had my " rootes approved service tools" t-shirt...."tool" also slang for male equipment 😂

SUNBEAM - sidelining unconventional nuanced breakages ending automotive movement.
