Fave car/garage smell
This has probably been done before but...
What's your favourite garage/car smell? Petrol? Swarfega?
Mine is copper grease  Love the smell, reminds me of chocolate or something. Quite tempted to eat it

I like the musty old car smell when you're inside a car at the scrappers

Love is like a snowmobile, speeding across the frozen tundra.
Which suddenly flips, pinning you underneath.
At night the ice-weasels come...

Not in everyones garage but the smell after running my model aero engines particularly the deisels running on ether/castor oil is nostril heaven for
me
Probably highly carconogenic though 
I used to be apathetic but now I just don't care.

Fave car/ garage smell
I didn't think there was any one here old enough to remember the smell of Castrol R. In the 60's that smell would lead you to the highly
modified engines.

Not a garage smeel but in the forest at a rally the smell of castrol r followed by the freshly dug up pine needle earthy combo.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

Swarfega reminds me of that night with rachel stevens... sorry that was a dream.
Castrol R, walking towards the pits at the goodwood revival and smell getting stronger.

Castrol R for me too. VSCC and speedway spring to mind.
On the rare occasions that I cut the grass I put a splash in the fuel, it's the only thing that makes the job tollerable.

Considering the level of fumes (white sprit used in large quantities) emanating from my garage I'd better stay out for now, I'd rather it
didn't smell at all.

Definately Castrol R. On a hot summers night this whole area smells of it from the speedway track
Least favourite smell: EP80/90
