It's time to admit I have a problem...

:blush:

I have setup my laptop in the garage so I can search for help while tackling jobs on the restoration.

Replacement tyres arrived yesterday so I am sitting here with the smell of them surrounding me...

The name of this problem is comonly called A love affare..

No I don't think you have a proplem at all:angel::D

Mrs hh:angel:

My Missus frequently tells me that I "smell like Land Rovers"...

Theres nothing like the distinctive smell of EP90 and blood. :p

Ok I admit I have a problem, anyone else have a similar ailment :D

I also love that smell. Reminds me when I drove a tractor for a quid. Also reminds me of having to top up the transfer case oil on my last desert trip on the Madigan when I had a prop shaft leak.

I think I will head down the tractor shed and have a quick sniff..........ah, that's better

There's nothing more pleasing than the smell of a garage/workshop or the smell of gun oil, it has a distinct aroma.

But you can keep the smell of used gear oil.... get it on yourself and phew!

Reminds me of this...

Hi,
a mate of mine is a bit of a bloke, not much in to the romantic stuff with the Mrs.
She was over the moon with happiness the day he came home and gave her a small bottle of 'perfume'.
"He actually got me perfume" she gasped to the rest of the family.
We didn't have the heart to tell her it was actually screwing oil from the workshop.

But hey! Isn't that what perfume is made for anyway?

cheers
