New car smell!!!!

Today sitting in my car enjoying the new car smell ( thank goodness for privacy glass ) and number 1 son - a JLR apprentice tells me that what I'm actually smelling is all the solvents etc used in the manufacturing process and that some of them are actually carcinogenic.

Then proceeds to tell me that they actually have a department whose job it is to create the new car smell without killing us off !!!!

I usually crack one off, similar effect, although humous when someone finds the 'excess' polish residue

Carcinogenic or not. I cannot think of a more perfect way to die....!

Okay then.

Parked up with the blonde in the back and the ocean out of the window. And the cork in the bottle just incase.

Genuinely just burst out laughing.

I'm now being stared at... Hilarious.

Anyway I've had loads of new cars and as far as I am aware I haven't died yet?
