A number of years ago my wife and I were on the other side of the pond and
stayed with Mike and Anne Allison. We attended with them the annual dinner
of the MMM Register of the MG Car Club. Before dinner there was a rally,
and I was the passenger in Mike's N type MG. Mike races this car and uses
Castrol R. To those not familiar with Mike, he is the author of two great
MG books, a onetime employee of the MG Car Company, and a master mechanic,
and restorer .
My wife Barbara, was a passenger in a pristine 4 seater L type owned and
driven by Roger Thomas.That car also carried Anne Allison and Roger's wife.
The rally was over a course of "single track roads" These are roads about 8
feet wide lined with high hedges, and they are two way!
Mike drives all out and left all the others way behind. However Roger , in
the four seat L type got lost. None the less they found there way by
sniffing through the cross roads, knowing where the N type had been by the
scent of Castol R. Barbara , said the odor was so strong on any road we
had been, and they had no trouble navigating by the castrol R . Its the
greatest scent, and women would really attract men if they could capture it
in a perfume rather than the stinky sweet smell they use
Mike
