For what value of 'best'? :)
They thought someone might come out with an even better whisky in December 2012, so Black Booster would no longer be the best premium Sierra Leonean whisky

By the time of the rubber bumper ones, the MGB was slower than some pretty ordinary saloons.

When I had one it was slower than most other cars and a few vans, the crap handling and brakes made up for that so it was still fun to drive.

Shit and buggery...our wonderful new 3 interwb is blocking this thru lack of signal.
While i agree with the above from Mr Muscle ( cleans under the rim)...my mk two spitfire with its high performance glass front would just break the ton...though if said front end wasnt properly lashed down it would open and stand vertical at 69mph....

Any idea what this is?
It's about 1/2 to 3/4 inch long (I took it a while ago and the bugger left so I didn't get to measure it).
<edit> the gap in the deck boards (upper right corner) is about 1/8 inch
