Milk the White Motor (by Piet Kooij)

Many of you will recognise - even from a small detail - the very well travelled Hotchkiss AM2 owned by long time friend Thomas Rudolf from Strasbourg, France. We reported earlier about his long Scandinavian and Anglosaxon tours. Few cars at this ripened age have seen so many miles. Be sure to check for instance his 2007 (6758 km) summer tour, or the 2006 (6366 km) tour. It's not only driving his car. When carefull servicing is required, Thomas will spend half of the winter in his garage taking care for a gearbox or whatever is needed. With the time remaining he maintains the Hotchkiss Europe world with a Hotchkiss forum and much-much more.

This weeks best line was by Piet Kooy who refers to a Dutch milk campaign from the nineties 'Melk de Witte Motor' , check Youtube for how fast milk can be..!

the secret ingredient of a long life

How do you think I survived all those long trips in my Hotchkiss? By using only Nestles Viking Condensed Milk, the choice of the discerning motorist!

Sure that he had a great national treasure
Farmer Tom's feet were as light as a feather
The British Museum staff they came to see
But first they enjoyed a little spot of tea

The viking Melk can was then formally checked
Their tough tests showed it to be almost perfect
Despite safekeeping in the Hotchkiss' sealed trunk
It's not worth anything because it's been drunk!

Ethyl, where's the copy of "Cooking on the Car" and the rest of the ingredients for the rabbit stew?

(Note, its still the 25th in the U.S.)

A strong car needs strong fuel!

With such a car you should skip the Nothern milk and try some Moet & Chandon Brut Imperial.

All the Hotchkiss siblings carried milk/melk on the rally in preparation for the birth of the new 411.
