But they came in some of the most lust-worthy cars ever made. If owning a Cobra means braving Smiths gauges I’m willing to make that sacrifice.

Gotta say all the smiths gauges in my TR6 work fine. Speedometer is even shockingly accurate.

Yeah, it’s more a joke about what they’re often attached to and what that means to how/whether they work. A big regulator or a bad connection or sending unit, say, if the ground is somewhere dodgy or the main wiring lead is with Lucas aluminum-in-zinc brass bullet connections ...

Smiths: To the right, you’re in flight. To the left, you’re buggered. The middle bit’s a suggestion.

Not nearly enough banter.

Pilot 1: What’s the (electric) fuel contents gauge read ing?

Pilot 2: Still showing steadily 99% hydrocarb ons.

Pilot 1 : What’s the 1% consisting of .

Pilot 2: According to the gauge it’ s non-hydrocarbons. My personal guess is that it might be water in the fue l.

Pilot 1: Are we we fine with 1% of water in the fuel?

Pilot 2: We shouldn’t have any worries with that much. We might have other fuel related problems though.

Pilot 1: How much we have have fuel left ?

Pilot 2 : Both fuel level gauges seem to out of o rder but I’m guessing that we are running out of fuel in 10 minutes or so .

Pilot 1: At least we know what the fuel consists of...

Haven’t really had trouble with the bullet connectors either. Just lucky maybe, everything electric works on the TR6 and only a few very minor problems on the XJ6.
