unlock the car as i walk over to my precious Alfa. Huge grin on my face (like this ). Open the drivers door and this beautiful little tone of the selespeed pump priming brings an even bigger smile on my face, making me feel as if im about to take off in a jet.
Sit down, bring the engine to life...and away we go!!
Speaking of jets - I love the sound of the engine cooling fans on the V6. Quite often I have to sit in traffic to get back to my flat and so by the time I park up the temperature is up and the fans are running. When you switch the engine off they take a few seconds to spin down to a stop, and it sounds like a jet engine powering down I love it :inlove:
Call me odd but I love the smell of the engine after you get out after a long run, can feel the heat wafting from it as well if you stand next to the wing. That and the perfumed leather which is still smelling sweetly years after the car was built.
Nothing beats the growl when you downshift a couple of gears and give it plenty of foot. Or the gentle shove as you get pushed back into your seat. I love that.
Oh, and the look on peoples faces as you pass them with said growl. :lol:
