Anyone else just love the smell of hot Retro car in a garage ? There`s something about the smell of hot engine mixed with burnt super unleaded and warm brake pads ;D I stood in the garage for ages the other day after a blast in the Min just breathing in the fumes

Your dad disturbs me, emma.
I got refused snuggles when I got home last night on the basis that I "don't smell like normal nicky". A quick shower rectified that...Does that count as Retro Car(s Show) smell

My seats smells of mice urine. I managed to evict them though.
Otherwise the smell of hot japanese plastic, with that slightly musky petrol leaky smell is what I'm used to.

When I arrived home, I was also told that I smelt of 'car'. Normally, this only happens when I've been working on one, not when just looking at them. Oh well...
I can only assume that this problem is similar to Pod Face ;D

I love old car smells! My brothers P6 always had a really strong smell. He was clearing all the trim away from the inner sill to weld up a gaping hole, and found the dried up remains of a whole fish, neatly tucked into a box-section! That'll be what the smell is, then! Obviously the guy before him had curse word of a mechanic or two eh?! ;D

My car has always smelled like 'old car' but last term at uni it started to smell stronger i thought. My mates said i was being silly, but after about a month of this my mate got in the passengerseat and we went for a bit of a burn and he found a bag with the broccoli that i thought id left at the checkout of tescos.
Ahhh thats where the smell has been coming from. Broccoli removed and normal imp smell returns!

I was talking to paul H about this at RCS. I love the smell of old cars and every time I open up my workshop the first thing i notice is the smell of the moggy . As for the cortina, it smells of tonycocacolas favorite herbal mediciene. It always has ever since i've had it and i've never worked out why. I've had all the trim out and never found any nice surprises so i can only assume that Hemp was widely used in the production of seventies fords

Saab interiors have a certain smell. It seems to be a mix fumes from carpets, to leather to palstics/vinyls, all combining.
It doesn't seem to develop until about 10-15 years, or about 80k+ miles, but when it is there, it is very distinctive.
When I got my T16, a mate who had a Tjugofem cheap because he worked in the body shop of a saab independant stuck his head in through the open passenger windows, went "Sniffffffff, hmm that is a good one". He was right.

TopTaff says our second Volvo smells like an old lady's handbag...

My old skoda estelle smelt of weed, stale beer and fags. I was young and impressionable....
My Toyota Carina smelled like the moss / cress that used to grow in the passenger footwell.
My Ford Escrote Chav-mobile probably smelled neutral. But I bought it off my brother who later regaled me with tales of the things he'd done with random loose girls on the passenger seat in it. It smelled f*ckin' awful to me....
