About this deal

EU8 civic type S - MG ZT cdti - R56 MINI Cooper S - Audi A3 8p - Jaguar XF (X250) - FN2 Civic Type R - Mk2 2. thats a good advert for scrapyards to take to the eviron-morons- don't get rid of them, they smell like orange groves! I saw that there was an attempt to do a pin-less version with a plastic puncturing tool but that never sold as well.

Or at least an explanation as to why they had to change such a winning formula - thousands of '80s cabbies can't be wrong! It's faded (more like Feu P*ss Yellow now) but I'm looking forward to inhaling its old-fashioned orange-grovey goodness.Jan 20, 2011 20:41:34 GMT MK2VR6 said:Feu orange was so 'of the era', and I have a real hankering for one (especially now I know I can't get one! I think he means the new 'ghey' type ones, and I have 1 new (proper type we are raving on about) one put it in let the smell go round the car- doesnt last as long as it used to which I pressumed being 20 years old or summat! The smell itself really takes me back to my uncles Rover P4; if I close my eyes it feels like the 80’s again.

Named ‘Old Car Smell’, the scent is based on the results of a nationwide social media campaign launched by Channel 4 Car SOS presenter Fuzz Townshend in partnership with the classic vehicle division of insurance brokers Carole Nash. I want to get in the car and be reminded of drinking too much fizzy orange pop and throwing up on the way to flamingoland as a kid. Having had a certain brand of modern liquid car air freshener that leaked and melted an airvent and damaged the radio surround, never again will I go near one of them. I bought an Orion years ago that came an air freshener which was a rotating 'multi smell' type and it outlasted the car. I know its an old thread but has anyone found a supplier of the Original Feu Orange air fresheners yet?We found that the tiny trial tins of Coca Cola were the best next to the checkout because it made the cans pee a fine stream of sticky pop nobody could see. I once hid a whole ripe Brie under the dashboard of someone's Transit over a long hot Bank holiday weekend. We’ve been overwhelmed by the response and interest in helping us to create the ultimate ‘Old Car Smell’ and are delighted with the final fragrance. Now if they were taken off the shelves and replaced by a crappy upstart, I believe riots would begin.

Well I've been looking for years and my local motor factor said that the old skool style one was not made any more because, and I nearly choked on my tongue when I heard this, the pin could cause injuries to users.Back in the day my Dad worked for Polco and was responsible for bringing the Feu Orange to the UK so you can thank him for the memories and the stained dashboards from leaky air fresheners. The nation’s most memorable motoring scents have been captured in a new handy air freshener for drivers. The smell of Feu orange transports me straight back to the late 80s when I was very young and going on holiday in my aunties mk3 Escort, good times. While the smells of engine oil and petrol proved to be popular, the sickly scents of 1980s air fresheners have a lasting place in the nation’s hearts.

They are a small scented gel stick that clips on behind the tiny plastic traffic light and slots into your air vent. If I could find a stash of these beauties I'd snap them up in an instant, that smell is authentic motoring yesteryear.Happened to remark to a mate that they don't smell much but seem last a long time as I'd had this one for several weeks. This smell will take any car enthusiast back to the good old days, even if you're driving a 61 plate Ford Focus.
