Putting an egg in the car radiator when it was leaking...

Your going to have to explain this to me.

I have been creating all sorts of ideas / images and can't come up with a sensible one.

Frying an egg on a car bonet / engine I have heard of.

Is it cracked into it to somehow seal the leak  ?

Yup, if the radiator leaked, stick some raw eggs in, especially if you are about to sell it to some prospective buyer. Cheaper than Radweld. And some heavy grade oil would temporarily help with oil leaks & big end rattles.

Where is Reddog when you need him?
This is just his kind of post - and I bet he stills does things like the vinegar in the sauce bottle.
In fact he could probably do a whole article on what to use vinegar for.
I'll start off - cleaning windows.....

We use to mend punctured bike tyres with a mixture of milk and flour. It worked great, but if you happened to have another puncture in the same tyre a few months later, the escaping air smelled like it was coming directly from Satan's bottom.

It happened to my brother Tracy once, a fine spray of foulest liquid you could ever imagine spurted from his front wheel and traced a thin line right through the middle of his face, some of it finding it's way into his mouth as he opened it to say "wtf?"

He almost sicked himself inside out. Happy days.
