I have just tried to have a shower using plumbers solder.
It just doesn't get the muck and dirt off as well as Imperial Leather though  :'(

These drivers observed just one hour before the start that one of the tank has a crack.

Having not enough time to repair their used Marseilles' soap, work it and put it as a dome on this crack.

They runned all the race but needed a burin to take it off.

I remember someone saying they ran a mini in the 60's.
The radiator leaked and blew the head gasket in practice.So with no time for an engine change they put in an egg to fix the radiator and English mustard to seal the head gasket!
Anyone else have any odd remedies?
