Popemobile Oil

Islander · Apr 19, 2005

I wonder what kind of oil they have been using in the popemobile? Nevertheless, with the new Pope in office, they will probably switch to German Castrol!

Wow. I cannot believe you posted that. I wonder how the Vatican's PR office would answer if we typed up an official inquiry. Anyone wanna' do that?

Well, he may be German, but he's in Italy. Probably using AGIP.

Olive oil.

Larry the Cable Guy · Apr 19, 2005

Extra Virgin Olive Oil to be exact.

Shannow · Apr 19, 2005

At a guess, I'd say maybe palm oil, with additives of frenkicense and myrrh

Patman · Apr 19, 2005

Maybe now that we've got a German Pope he'll get AMG to do their magic on the popemobile! [Big Grin]

Shannow · Apr 19, 2005

Patman, I guess that it will be GC now. If it's AMG, they will require a wonderful 7 point Papal Harness.

He's German, and the climate in Italy is warm, maybe 40 or 50?

vwoom · Apr 20, 2005

Whoa!...pure olive oils, palm oils...don't you guys realize you're talking about pure Grp V esters!! [Wink]

Holy esters to be precise.. [Big Grin]

Larry the Cable Guy · Apr 20, 2005

O.K., I'm game for another round... "Holy esters Patman!"

moribundman · Apr 20, 2005

Well, he's Bavarian, so I expect him to switch to a customized X5 BMW. [Coffee]

(<--- this should be a stein!)

JeepZJ4.0 · Apr 21, 2005

Since the new Pope is German, the oil must meet MB 229.5, VW 505.01 and BMW Long Life.... and its all paid for with the money that is in the collection baskets.... Wow. i'm going to **** now.

If that were true, his peers would have blown blue smoke to pick him instead of white. [Big Grin]

Larry the Cable Guy · Apr 21, 2005

Holy "Moly"! [Duh!]

TallPaul · Apr 21, 2005

Sure it's not one of them electric golf-cart type vehicles? Then it would take 3 in 1 oil!

...or a VW Touareg. [Smile]

VW Wants to Build Next "Pope-Mobile" As you may remember, Mercedes-Benz built a bulletproof parade vehicle(above ML pic) for Pope John Paul II's use later in his life. Now, following in Mercedes' tire treads, Volkswagen has expressed interest in building a "Pope-mobile" for newly minted Pope Benedict XVI, the former Cardinal Josef Ratzinger ofGermany. But there isn't much time to spare - the goal is to have the one-of-a-kind vehicle ready for the "Katholischen Weltjugendtag" (World Youth Day) in Köln (Cologne, Germany) this coming August. Sources close to Volkswagen tell our spy-shot network that if such a vehicle were commissioned, it would likely be based off of the Touareg. This photo-illustration - produced just outside of Wolfsburg hours after word started spreading about the new Popemobile - reflects the initial information and rumors circulating around Volkswagen's headquarters today. -Brenda Priddy & Company http://www.thecarconnection.com/Industry/Daily_Edition/Daily_Edition_Apr_22_2005.S173.A8501.html [ April 22, 2005, 12:53 AM: Message edited by: vwoom ]
