The Prince Albert Award

Today was the annual Western Washington British car show. Our car won first place in its class (not for the first time, it generally does quite well :-) ). But this year, we received this fabulous trophy of a radiator hose, which is busy leaking coolant fluid.

I know, I know, it’s funny, British cars of older years are not known for their reliablity, but not one of us receiving their trophies was thinking of radiator hoses when it comes to placing them on our mantelpiece!
