I love the smell of .... in the morning.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Ass

[BavarianRetro]

Castrol R.

 

As a child in the 70s, it was the smell of the pub extractor fan from the outside.

[Noel Tidybeard]

my mates aston smells noice

[Eddie Honda]

Old car smell. Namely my old Regal, mix of fags and rotted carpet with a hint of vinyl

[PhilA]

Eggs fried in butter.

The burned blue oily smell of a worn CVH or A-series.

Carbon copy paper.

Pear drops.

That kinda mixed 2-stroke oil/diesel/cowshit/dry straw smell the South of France has out in the country.

[Junkman]

The contents of my vintage glue museum:

 

 

 

 

 

[UltraWomble]

Carbon copy paper.

 

The smell of newsletters fresh from a Ditto machine at school

[Parky]

Meths

 

Lemons

 

Issey Miyake perfume (reminds me of a lass I knew)

 

Fresh gear oil

 

My Grandads old "Golden Virginia" tobacco tins he kept old screws in. When he died and I was told I could take what I wanted from the house, I ignored all the electronic shiz and took his tins.

[NorfolkNWeigh]

Diesel on my Dad's shoes when he came in late at night

Burning leaves and mud on a Series 1 Land Rover exhaust

Petrol and hardboard smell of my Grandad's Triumph boot

 

These are the smells of my childhood.

Beer soaked carpet

Two stroke fumes and chain oil

 

These are memories of a misspent adolescence.

 

Newborn baby

Leather upholstery in a hot car

Brake dust

Pussy

Brandy

That hot exotic air when you step out of a plane

 

These are what makes the adult me smile

II'm working in Derby. The only smell is that of Shit. Raw sewage. That's what Derby smells, like. Burton on Trent smells of hops and brewing. Much nicer. The Toyota Factory is about where the 2 mix. Shit and Beer smells.

[Jams]

Don't know why but tea bags??

[xkjagnz]

An unspilled colostomy bag

No?

Ok windscreen wash fluid then

[cros]

Oil mixed with dust then heated on anything old with hydraulics, Single cylinder 2 stroke Marshall exhaust, Train or traction engines in steam, Golden Virginia smoke on a frosty morning, old French bars thick with smoke, beer in the old pubs that had no spirits licence and only sold beer, coal-fired chip-fryer, the smell in old cars with leather seats that people who don't own them think is wonderful but which tells you the roof is leaking again, some horses, silage, brewers grains, rolled oats, coffee but not Costas coffee, suds smell in a machine shop, creosote, the lost smell of outdoor pub urinals, and the lack of smell at the top of a freezing cold mountain.

[garbaldy]

I also loved the smell of castrol R and now I'm wondering if you can still get it,

 

Any old hot well set up carbed car that ran leaded, you also don't see the lovely light grey exhaust pipe any more 😞

 

Hot bike engine covered in mud and peat,

 

Fresh cut grass in the spring.

Loads more but that will do for the now.

[chodweaver]

Cut grass and a hot mower engine

Grip tape (probably the adhesive on the back)

+1 for old pub carpet in the morning

The leather in the Presidential Renner

+100 for coffee

Fresh tobacco, specifically the vanilla or black cherry flavoured stuff

The old Series Land Rovers had a smell when you jumped in first thing. Vinyl mixed with EP 90. Just oily smelly, but in a way that said "this is a serious machine"

[Station]

We used to go to the motor racing at ingleston. Loved the smell of Castrol as bunch of rovers, minis, imps etc battled through the esses.

 

I'll add fabric elastoplast, heather in bloom, marker pens and pipe smoke.

[The_Equalizer]

Old houses - my grandad lived in a Victorian coach house which had a certain something. Probably a blend of old furniture, cold and damp.

 

Old cars with 'original style' Connolly hides called Vaumol I believe, but happy to be corrected on.

[demag]

Tar when they are doing the roads. Also the smell of fresh roasted coffee. It takes me straight back to my childhood. A place where my dear old mom worked always had coffee on.

That smell that happens when it rains after a long period of dryness - kinda earthy!
