It stops leaking in the parking spot.
I always thought that if it was, then Lucas made it.
The radiator is the size of a postage stamp.
I had a '59 Triumph sports car when I was in college in Arizona.
Took a long weekend Memorial Day trip across the desert to California with my girlfriend.
Spent most of the weekend at a gas station in Desert Center because we couldn't keep the car running before the water in the radiator would boil out.
Blew a head gasket as a result and had to have it towed back to Phoenix.
The mechanic told me the British didn't design the cooling system for the heat in the desert southwest.
After that experience, I carried two of those old canvas water bags hanging off the trunk rack to keep water handy. And I didn't take anymore long trips in that car.
Seems the British naval destroyers are not their only creation that doesn't do well in warmer conditions.
