[DML] Weeping Drooling Cars/ DCS 2008

["drhdmc1" <drhaney@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This thread reminded me of an event I participated in a few years 
ago. The British Motoring Club of Northern Colorado holds an event 
every fall called the Ever Oil Spot Rallye which ends at a place 
where lunch is served and prizes are rewarded.

As you arrive at the finish they hand you a special drop cloth, since 
British cars (MG, Jaguar, Austin Healeys ect.) are notorious for 
leaks, you place it under your car for a period of time and then give 
it to the judges. They review each entry and determine the best Oil 
Spot Art winner. 

My car barely leaked and I think that was road crud, so I had no shot 
at winning. I need to go back because recently my car has developed a 
bit of a weep, I too suspect the Oil Sending unit.

I recall that one guy wore a self depreciating shirt that even 
Delorean owners can relate to. It had a representation of Joseph 
Lucas on it saying: "Lucas Electronics because a gentleman doesn't 
drive at night!"
