I have to admit, when i saw the thread title i thought "two stoke fumes"
Right back to my NatSKA karting days in yr10 there was nothing to beat the smell of the commers warming up on the grid.
- I also have model car engines (and now a heli) which give out the same sweet smell!
I also very much like the smell of a warm oilly engine thats just been worked hard. ITS JUST SO GOOD!!!

During my bodywork phase I practically got addicted to body filler. I also like GT85 and now use it in preference to WD40. And Castrol R of course
...... ahhhhhhh that takes me back to an old Norton I used to own .....
Cheers,

Hard one to say.

I like the musty old car smell when you're inside a car at the scrappers
Tha especially an old car with old leather.
Petrol. 2 stroke running. Standing in the pits at speedway is always a good smell. Good proper creosote is very addictive.
Oh yeah GT85 mmmmm...

The smell of a car in general; (brakes/engine/tyres) after a car's been thrashed on track!
Lack of will power has caused more failure than lack of intelligence or ability.
There's hope yet then !

Fave car smell
Inside the car at the end of a long forest special stage. Stinking hot brakes and motor together with the smell of what was mud drying on motor /
exhaust.

Probably highly carconogenic though
Good call used to run an engine every now and again just for that smell and sound - usually resulting in the tell tale dozen slice marks along the
flicking finger...
Also love the smell you get while spraying a car with cellulose, but for some reason it turns really nasty after a couple of days?

1) Machine coolant - Soluble Oil - best when I walk into my school metal workshop at about 7:30am and there's no one around & it's
combined with the fluorescent tube starters clicking and popping.
2) Red semi hardening gasket sealant. Both when fresh from the tube and also when blasting along and you catch a waft from under the bonnet mixed with
hot exhaust and oil vapour out of the catchtank.
