cadguy77 0 Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 the pre show jinx hit me too the other day, went to take her for a little spin cos i don't daily drive her anymore, got round the corner from my house, smoke started billowing out of the engine bay. got the hood up, turned out to be a loose coolant hose, pissed all over my newly installed 6 branch, hence the resultant cloud of smoke (well steam really). And boy did it stink... Link to post Share on other sites
