[Fot] Oil diapers

[Bill Tobin]

Not doing a very bloody good job on the rust prevention, is it?

Went to Put-in-Bay this past Mon and Tue for the vintage races. Lots of fun. relaxed and low key.
Usual Triumph suspects were there. One yellow TR4 looked very familiar; the crew weren't sure of the previous owner.
Cheers, Bill

  British cars do not leak oil they have a self lubricating chassis because of all the salt they put on the roads in England and it helps keep the Rust at bay...

    Our territorial marking habits are well known, and we must live with our reputation.  


    When Bob Wismer and I showed up at Barber in Birmingham at one of the very first vintage events held there, the track staff met us at our assigned parking spot with two five gallon buckets of Oil Dri.  They were smiling, but they were serious.


    "...fricken Appalachian"?  No, sir!  Dave's work is Yankee ingenuity.  It should be celebrated!

    Maybe its a southern thang.  We did the same thing at Road Atlanta with the TR4 years ago. Grandson James' job was to get under the car after EVERY session and change the diaper under the rear seal.  Don
