>Actually, it's a little known fact that in the early 60's there was only
one
factory recommended damper oil for Triumphs -- that which was made from the
rendered fat of the Pacific Right whale. Demand for said oil thus became
so
great the poor beasts were nearly driven to extinction, and remain so
today.

Ha ha. So I guess if you store your car you not only have to worry
about mice and squirrels but cats as well.
True story: A friend of mine who had a modest collection of
antique clocks acquired some whale oil and used it to lub one
of his clocks. He had to store it in the garage for the next six
months it smelled of fish so bad.
