The fact that my mother's (original style, not the truck-sized BMW fake!)
Mini's oil filler cap had 'Shell - Duckhams - Esso - BP (etc.)' stamped on
it didn't stop *her* filling the engine (transverse, of course, so she
thought it was the radiator!) with water. I guess she thought they were all
brands of bottled mineral water (;-)).

At least Minis aren't air-cooled, though...
