I actually like the 23 and 5/8 inches measurement, which is the "Lid" of the dipstick which meets the tube when pushed all the way in. So if you find yourself with no dipstick, just get any old wire and push it in 23 and 5/8 inches from the top of the tube.

I noticed a number on the dipstick handle, "014.54". Of course I'll look to see if that has any significance.
When is the "Plastic Rivet Award Show", where is it (Hollywood or Caen) and is it black tie? I promise to accept the award with proper humility and keep my speech to less than 90 minutes.

So you're saying Brighton has the longest dipstick?

I'll have to take your word on that.
