Watch the duco mate..

[Sphinx]

Just wondering how many of you out there are familar with this saying? I was talking to one of the guys at work(who's not really a car nut) and he'd never heard of it. I'm in my 30's and have used that saying for a long as I've had a car, so I wonder if people in their late 20's or earlier 30's use it as the youngies might not know what it means...

A really old saying.......... ( and yea, duco is paint)......

[walesy]

I think this saying may have come off the Aussie comedy "Kingswood Country"
during the late seventies...

I somehow can picture Ted Bullpit saying...

"Your not taking the Kingswood...I just had the towball waxed...Watch the duco...bloody Wog..."

Cheers

I checked wikipedi(the source for all things useless) and it states:

Duco was a trade name assigned to a product line of automotive lacquer developed by the DuPont Company in the 1920s. Under the Duco brand, DuPont introduced the first quick drying multi-color line of lacquers especially for the automotive industry. It is now used by Nexa Autocolor - formerly ICI Autocolor, a divsion of Pittsburgh based PPG Industries as a tradename for automotive enamels in Asia.


Some how, watch the PPG mate doesn't sound the same does it. I kinda remember Ted Bullpit saying that about the Kingswood... Leave your money on the fridge!
