[TR] Smells and wives

[Steve Ball]

Andrew,
I would start by seeing if both cars produce "the smell" equally.  Park one 
outside for a few days, and then the other.  That might tell you if one is 
the specific offender, or if they're both about the same....could be a big 
head start in the troubleshooting process.

BTW, my wife says if it doesn't smell a little bit, it's not a "real" 
British car.  You gotta love it.  Sorry though, she's not for sale.

List:

What was the outcome of the recent e-discussion on gas smells?  I have 2
TR3s in the garage below our bedroom and my wife claims the smell of gas is
now impregnating the clothes closet.  It has been 90+ degrees here in MA and
I assume the vent pipes are indeed venting, but did anyone have suggestions
for a cure (other than spousal nasal surgery) ?
