Somewhere, I have a very old bottle of smoke I bought in the mid-70s.

I don't know if it's still usable.

It's 1978 in Rota, Spain.

I get into my Mini Cooper 850, hit the starter and the cab immediately fills with smoke.  After that, I learned about quick-disconnect battery terminals.

Then it was an MG.  Later, a Triumph.
