We used to beer-gurgle "curse you Ninestein" at one another in the pub - I was in my 20s & still thought it was good...

Mind you, it was Stingray, Thunderbirds et al when younger.

Anyway, I thought of the Terraclean Blues:

And I feel so lonesome, you hear me when I moan
When I feel so lonesome, you hear me when I moan
Who been drivin' my Terraplane, for you since I been gone.

I'd said I flash your lights, mama, you horn won't even blow
(spoken: Somebody's been runnin' my batteries down on this machine)
I even flash my lights, mama, this horn won't even blow
Got a short in this connection, hoo well, babe, it's way down below


I'm gion' heist your hood, mama, I'm bound to check your oil
I'm goin' heist your hood, mama, mmm, I'm bound to check your oil
I got a woman that I'm lovin', way down in Arkansas

Now, you know the coils ain't even buzzin', little generator won't get the spark
Motor's in a bad condition, you gotta have these batteries charged
But I'm cryin', pleease, pleease don't do me wrong.
Who been drivin' my Terraplane now for, you since I been gone.

Mr. highway man, please don't block the road
Puh hee hee, please don't block the road
'Cause she's reachin' a cold one hundred and I'm booked and I got to go

Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Yoo ooo ooo ooo, you hear me weep and moan
Who been drivin' my Terraplane now for, you since I been gone

I'm gon' get down in this connection, keep on tanglin' with your wires
I'm gon' get down in this connection, oh well, keep on tanglin' with these wires
And when I mash down on your little starter, then your spark plug will give me fire

The lad in this advert is actually a customer who was at uni in Cardiff at the time and replied to an AD for cars to be tested before and after, he had problems with black smoke and excessive fuel consumption, smoke from under the bonnet and your eye's would smart from the diesel fumes but it was intermittent, he was interviewed only a couple of few after and it seemed to have fixed the problem their reasoning being a blocked dpf, a week later the car was back to how it was before, it then went to Vauxhall who fitted an egr at tremendous cost a week later it was back to how it was before in the end Vauxhall re-flashed the ECU as it turned out the car was going into regen mode every 300 miles hence the poor fuel consumption and smoke, The problem still returned and was fixed at a later date,, Most injector cleaners used regular will work the same,

I thought it was a niche-market personal grooming product...
