Not that I ever heard about Wuz, but there was a lot of strange things going on engine-wise in the late 80's and early 90s.

I just don't get the reference.. X.. - why does your mama see to your underwear requirements?

& what has an engine block image.. got to do with your knickers anyhow?

Unless, maybe - the soft cotton from well worn knickers.. ..makes for a superior polishing rag?
