Maybe some of our more senior (!) members can remember the Esso advertising campaign for paraffin ?

I had to but some paraffin recently, it was £8.49 for 4 litres, and I thought petrol was expensive! :(

I bet my first wank came quicker than your first mini turbo


These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.

What sort of price do those cans go for. The father in law used to work for ESSO and when we were clearing out the garage, we found a can not dissimilar, although it wasn't blue and A little worse for ware, but still sealed and contains a little fluid. Just wondering as It might be of use to some one else rather than rotting away in a garage.

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be...
So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

That particular can belonged to my late father in law and was latterly used to hold fuel for my mother in laws mower.
It was badly dented and very rusty, so I had to cut out the bottomto panel beat it and restore some of the original pressings.I painted it to match the car, of course.(its not as good as the photo suggests)

I would like to have more of them, but they are now being collected and prices have gone rather silly.
