Once again. Smoke surrounding the back of colins car. Anyone else noticing a pattern here???

In that last shot, an elderly couple got the fright of their lives, whilst out for a walk at Wisemans fery, NSW.
Over heard to be saying to each other, " Damb hoons, do you smell petrol???".

Ha Ha.

Gaz, you're right it must be the photo as it does look blue. Maybe there is a residual smoke haze from Col that effects the shade of it

YOURS is what I call green!

what's this smoke that is apparently coming from my car? I really should get that exhaust looked at or maybe it's a tyre rubbing on the guard YEAH thats it cause i can't think of anything else it could be.

The pic in the latest Street Machine mag might give some indication as to the cause

I'm sure it was yours

I've got a BG220 pump thats usually in mine, the major problem i had was the bearing in the pump motor seized. pulled out the cheap taiwanese bearing, replaced it with a good one from CBC bearings, and thats as far as i got.. the no-name pump in my car that i fitted while fixing the BG was good enough for the 11-second passes so it stayed in there lol..

Have you checked the valve stem seals lately? Judging by the smoke I'd say it quite possible you don't have any
