A plastic washing-up bowl is excellent for the purpose. Don't know if you
can get 'em, but they hold as much liquid as a standard bucket, and they're
low enough to slide under most cars. Also good when you're changing an Audi
under-car fuel pump. There should be one in every garage.

Oh, and don't use it for washing up afterwards. ;-)
