yup, i remember that smell as if it were yesterday!
my dad used to get a new company car every 3 years and
remember the excitement (aged 10) of him driving up the gravel
path with his lovely new red 1.6L mk4 cortina and taking us
all out a run down the boulevard in it.
the smell was overwhelming
as was the excitement of the space aged green illuminated dash
with the weird brightly coloured warning lights below the gauges -
still to this day when i'm out in my mk4 i like to put full beams on
just to remind me of those halcyon days in the '70s.
i love ya, dad!!
