Cars Stink !

[J4CKO]

Anyone else noticed ?

Ok, the exhausts whiff a bit but sometimes when someone has a window open it absolutely reeks, Fags, sweat, cheap air freshener, farts, plastic, perfume.

A few have been past me recently with windows open and turned my stomach.

cannabis...

Oh, and a blown engine on Saturday. Nice Audi, the driver and passenger were hoping it was unburnt fuel. No, it's white and smells of burnt engine oil.

you can always tell the pot smokers...

I am amazed at how many I see (smell) this each day, even on the loud bike. I cannot believe motorcycle PC's, dont want to pull them over, it is obvious who they are.

mostly van drivers.... from my own unofficial survey

 

[ianrauk]

Yep, there are a lot.. even at 7am in the morning lol

Careful lads. I had a super baked bean laden breakfast at the first stop on our club run yesterday. My legs were beginning to fade on the re-ascent of the North Downs until jet power took over. I noticed cars were even giving me more room.

And my greenhouse gas is a jolly lot more powerful than their pathetic CO2 ...

It's true - some cars are horrible. But so too are freshly fertilised farmer's fields.

One of my longer, slightly rural routes goes past a couple of farms and the famers have recently fertilised their fields. It lingers at the back of the throat long after you've pedalled past. Yuck!

Oh my the farmer has just started 'refuelling' the fields by my work. Coming up the last hill to work and suddenly OHDEARGODTHEHORROR almost knocked me off my bike!

What also made me a little unpopular is that I also had to ride quite wide on the 40mph road uphill at about 8mph as the side of the road for about a half mile stretch was completely covered in s***.

It's a grim ride when the posh rural houses on my commute are having their septic tanks emptied

I'm amazed any building work ever gets done in the West Midlands with the amount of skunk-addled builders there must be.

I don't think the OP said ALL cars, just "Cars" and "sometimes".

Had to laugh at one recently. Smokers usually park in the more remote north east corner of the local supermarket car park so that the prevailing south westerly carries away the fumes, but this smoker had not realised the wind was from the north east that day, dummy.

I love the smell of weed. I walked past two people sharing a spliff on the walk uptown the other day. I nearly turned around and followed them with my nose in the air like the Bisto kids.

and then felt the need to run and buy some more snacks?

Unusual though it may be - I find myself in agreement with you.
