A while back I was making a sales call on a store owner not far
from here and told him that I occasionally brought my kids to his store
for ice cream in my Alpine. He got all glassy eyed and started
reminiscing about HIS Alpine ( small world ) and that he could still
remember what it smelled like.
Ever since then I've been wondering what smell he remembers. Is it
gas fumes from the cross-over tube in the trunk, clutch fluid smoldering
on the hot downpipes, antifreeze spewing from the radiator, or rodent
droppings from last winter's mouse carnival in the upholstery?
I asked my brother ( my SV's previous owner ) about the accuracy of
the guages and his reply was " Who needs guages, just sniff to see which
fluid is burning or leaking and that's the system that needs attention."
God I love these cars!
See you all in Dayton.
