Green oil.

Oh goodness.. now there's so called 'green' oil.

http://www.gizmag.com/motor-oil-goes-green/8299/

 

Hardly new. The first oil change I ever did, helping my dad with his Austin
1100 used green oil. Duckhams Hypergrade c1970.

I see this outfit make a 2 stroke oil from beef dripping. Do you think it
produces a nice barbecue aroma fron the exhaust?

 

Then you'd collect the stuff to paint the underside of the car and the
fence to stop them rotting.

I hope so. Beats strawberry.

 

Stop an Austin 1100 rotting? Silly boy.

Yes, we used old engine oil for all sorts of purposes on our
smallholding. Fence posts sat in a vat of it for a few weeks to help
stop them rotting off in the ground. Weedkiller was mixed into it and
then painted onto tree stumps to stop the fuckers growing back.

My first summer job was on a farm. I was employed by the cheapskate to
paint the wooden walls of his sileage bays with used engine oil. My
father was the herdsman on this farm at the time.

About 8 years later my father died from cancer...

 

What could be more "Green" than old dinosaurs
Bg

 

....still is green

 

Not after a few miles it isn't.

 

I know.. you have to try though.

My Grandad died of cancer. He worked as a civil engineer.

 

My uncle died of cancer last week. He was a mechanic and in contact with
engine oil every day of his working life.

He was 79.

My mum died of cancer and she never changed a gearbox in her life.

It's a bugger, this epidemiology, isn't it?

Heh. ****.

Actually, it's looking like no fucker wants to take my money for the
Land Crusher head gasket, so I'm going to have to do it myself.

Bollocks. I thought my days of standing around freezing my arse off over
a dead engine were over.

What happens after the oil has been in the engine for a few thousand miles
and becomes contaminated can you still chuck it in the ground?

The Moggie Minor has this done every year to help stop the subframes
rotting. Seems to be working..

It's a head gasket he's too bone-idle[1] to fix.

[1] Or is it bone-idol?

 

If you got off your arse and actually did something about it, you might
finish before winter sets in properly.

**** off, it's over 11degC in Bedford. Put some clothes on and get on with
it.

 

15 in Leeds. Positively summer like.

 

Pah. Old stuff indeed. On the first RTW motor race some of the
competitors had to use goat dripping as motor or axle oil.

Teach a man to fish and he and his pikey mates will have the
river cleaned out in a day.

 

Sounds like a new C5 late-night reality show..
