that's nice - what is it?

[SmartWombat]

Ever had that comment on a photo?
So that's my question to you folks - what is it?

[Greg McCary]

Your cat turning into a Terminator? It looks like a cats eye in the middle.

[Nod]

I'm guessing liquid or ice or both.

[SmartWombat]

Good - now what liquid, what container?

[Skyman]

water in a scotch glass,

It is missing something, oh yeah the scotch!

[SmartWombat]

non-potable liquid, sorry

[Skyman]

My first thought then is mercury, but Then I thought, This is a wombat photo, I bet it is some sort of motoring fluid. Nothing I can think of is the right colour though.

First thought was very cold Vodka but since its not potable

I have three possibilities
A rust inhibitor - I think it was called owtrol
Resin - as in fibreglass resin
or turps - paint brush cleaner

No matter what it is it looks good.

The white spot just above the centre of the picture is the hole in the sump that leaked oil over the drive.
It's only a pinhole, less than 0.5mm .

Our cat walked through the oil, came indoors, and left oil paw prints on our duvet.
I still have all my fingers, getting the oil off the cat's (well armed) claws was a challenge.
We find out the weather from the cat, a wetter-fur-cast when it starts raining.
Now I get advance warning of car problems without even going outside.
Is there no end to out cat's talent?

[readingr]

Good one - I thought it looked like clear liquid over a black background.

I thought it was a cocktail of some sort.

[SmartWombat]

12 years of oxidised oil sludge, with an overlay of fresh Castrol Magnatec and purest rainwater.

That would have been my next guess!

[SmartWombat]

It's a kind of motoring cocktail
