The title of Prince of Darkness belonged to Joe Lucas himself, the founder of the company. An old girlfriend of mine swore that Joe Lucas died in a motorcycle accident on the way to visit her grandfather. I always wondered if he came to grief because his lights failed?

I just bought a Chevy Silverado crewcab pickup. Living here in Montana, you need a 4 wheel drive and a truck bed!

I've always thought something like this would be best.
Right hand drive, of course.

Good choice Livingstone. However for the time I'll have to settle for my Dodge Ram 3/4 ton with an 8' bed. Easy to get into and out of with a kilt on. Great for hauling lumber, backpacking gear, and my wife out to dinner!

A bit about "The Prince of Darkness"

She must have been a very old girl friend...
Joseph Lucas was born in 1834, and died of typhoid in Naples, Italy, in 1902 as a result of drinking contaminated water.
Lucas's products, when properly spec'd, rarely gave any problem-- both Rolls-Royce and Bentley made use of Lucas products. The problem arose when manufacturers would specify electrical parts built "down to a cost" rather than "up to the job".
