Yeah that was from JCs MotorWorld. Pretty crazy though

Oh HELL NAW.

Noted for future zombie apocalypse or other collapse of civilisation applications.

I'd imagine it's not very good at high temps.

Necessity is the mother of invention, but I would ask the same question I would to the guy that first picked up a raw oyster and decided it should go in his mouth....

How the heck did you put that together?

Creative person with lots of time, little money, access to alcohol, hmmmm, sounds familiar...

I think I will pass on the grassroots brakefluid for now

That is all I am using in the future.

Sounds like he thought that if filtered brake fluid is drinkable then the opposite could be done.

I know you can't drink filtered brake fluid, it will kill but that rumor has been around a long time and invariably somebody tries it. When I was in the military and deployed, a couple motor pool mechs tried it and almost died. Just a theory on how he came up with the idea.

Cuban mechanics are real mechanics and not just parts changers like most of us...myself included

I kind of want to try it.

Ditch the shampoo & I'll drink it. Throw some limes in there & its kinda like a Caipirinha

Yum.

Funny story about brake fluid.

While in Libya in the 70's needed some brake fluid. Go to the store and ask if he has brake fluid. The answer was yes, I was even shown the can. I said I'll take it and was told I couldn't buy it. I asked why and was told that it was his last can and if he sold it to me he would have to tell thenext person he didn't have any. Go figgure.

That's awesome. I'm going to use that method of salesmanship some day.

So did you pay him for knowing he had some that you could not purchase?

80's Clarkson went to CUBA?!

The video is from '96. Cuba is actually really easy to get into, even as an American. Not that I tried.

By the by, if you're a US citizen, they probably won't stamp your passport, but if you aren't sufficiently prepared and they do, that's where the trouble could start...

Or, alternatively, who looked at a cow, and thought "Imma gonna squeeze that, and drink whatever comes out"? And by the same token, what if he tried it first on a bull?
