Reading about these oil mats some of you put under your cars reminded me of an
ad I saw in a German classic car magazine only a couple of weeks ago. They
offered a "Auto-Windel" which translates into "car diaper". What it basically is
is a piece of the material you have been describing in a metal "pan". It's
supposed to be fitted under the engine/gearbox by a couple of simple pieces of
wire. The advantage is that it is always there no matter where your car is
parked.
This seems to make sense, especially here in Germany where people tend to be
very picky about oil on their driveways and such.
I have not seen the product and I am a bit conderned about ground clearance on
our cars. I somebody is interested it would probably be very easy to fabricate
something like that yourself.
