A similarly memorable event, doubtless less bloody than yours. I did break a tooth, though, so still have the illustration for my story. ;-)Jess D'Zertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05028778162363430904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15472529.post-1157296725293221922006-09-03T16:18:00.000+01:002006-09-03T16:18:00.000+01:00I'm disturbed at that dog called hitler.

Wish my Mum could take a leaf out of your profile, bless her. Anyway, your car story reminded me of a car that used to be parked near me as a kid. No Mascot, but he'd covered it in fake grass and had little people models on the bonnet, playing golf, and just generally going about everyday things. That car always Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14170492581566652759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15472529.post-1156960288321010582006-08-30T18:51:00.000+01:002006-08-30T18:51:00.000+01:00Thanks!

It is the water that is cooled by the flow of air over the myriad small pipes through which it is flowing that cools the engine. Nowadays the radiator cap is under the bonnet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15472529.post-1156935182104902962006-08-30T11:53:00.000+01:002006-08-30T11:53:00.000+01:00I couldn't say yes or no, Richard.

I found a stylised bird mascot picture,from the right period which might have been sharp enough, but it didn't jog my memory.<BR/><BR/>Are you politely telling me I've got my facts wrong, and that petrol was not put in via the radiator cap? I must correct my blog (and my store of relevant knowledge) if so!
