I am mortally hurt by this! It is a well-known fact that my 1967 Austin Cooper S does not leak oil! However, it does occasionally mark its territory! Both of my classics sit in the carpetted garage with drip pans under them in case they decide to mark the garage.

And there are a ton more such tall tales of old British cars leaking oil.... such as, you don't need a dipstick when you have an old British car, when they stop leaking oil you know it is out of oil -- time to add some. If you drive it fast enough, you never can tell because the drops are too far apart.

I once had a guy tell me that if one properly assembled a Mini engine, it would not leak oil. If that is the case, then I guess I have never properly assembled one.

keep smiling!

Nothing wrong with a little drip-idge.They all do that. It took me a long time to get over the fear I had that my Miata was out of oil.

 

Mazdas I think have a worse reputation than others for oil consumption. Probably has something to do with the Wankel being the David Copperfeild of engines. The oil was in there a second ago where did it go?

 

Wankles are designed to use oil. Helps the rotor tip seals live.

My Eunos has 4 rotors, but uses no oil. What's up with that?

 

The final touch... what can I say, I'm a trend setter!!

 

I like it.

You can take the boy outa Zanesville, but ya can't take the Zanesville outa the boy.

 

I am surprised no one has claimed the sweet smoked tail lights yet.

 

I think the tire looks better than a license plate on the front I might have to try that, I have four worn tires I could throw on the front like rally lights

 

Is the knot purposely designed to look like the Y-Bridge? Now THAT is real Zanesvillian!

 

I had I terrible fight because of that bridge one afternoon... some trucker stopped me and asked me for directions... I told him to go to the middle of the bridge and take a right... and the fight was on!!!

 

I read somewhere that the bridge used to swing from one road to the other twice a day, how odd would that be for giving directions?
