What never used a Frosties card board to make gaskets before?

Someone did not joking it wasn't a headgasket though, the story goes a lad turned up at a professional mechanics place at midnight begging for something to be fixed.
The chap didnt have spares, but made a gasket up from a frosties packet.
The gasket lasted for quite awhile and he had been strictly told to change it out soon as he could get the OEM gasket. He didnt and his car blew up.
Story goes it got blown out of all proportion and the whole scene heard about it and thought the chap used Frosties for gaskets.
It's like you do a favour to get someone out of trouble and he got flack for using his skills as a temp fix!  :rolleyes:
