Should' ave Bought A Fizz Bomb!

After putting in many hours of work restoring this 1973 Triumph Stag, the owner wasn’t too pleased when a spotty youth wearing a hoodie suggested he should have bought a ‘Fizz Bomb’ instead. It was further explained in a Scouse accent that a Fizz Bomb referred to Ford’s Fiesta, something ‘well better’ than an old car like a Stag!
