Speaking of Castrol GTX, does anybody remember the "liquid engineering" TV ad from the 70s?

You might be interested to know that it was golden syrup, not oil. A friend of mine was a driver for a firm that delivered props for filming, and he turned up with a 50 gallon drum of the stuff, presumably because they thought it would take a lot of tries to get it right. When it all worked perfectly on the second take, Timbo asked them what they were going to do with the remaining 48 gallons of golden syrup, to which the reply was "Throw it out -- why, do you want it?"

Thanks to another friend with an item in his bathroom made out of an old Belling tea urn and a lot of copper pipe, this explains why Timbo offered to bring some gin to a camping weekend down in Devon, and turned up with a gallon in a demijohn... ;-)
