    Can I ask a very random question?

    Does anyone remember the first time they smelled parmesan? Did you think it smelled revolting? Like vomit, or really smelly feet?

    How come it doesn't smell like that now? Or does it, and we are just used to it?

    :confused: :rotfl:

    It still smells like that, well the horrid stuff you get dried and sits in a container for months does. The fresh stuff you grate yourself isn't as bad :D

    Pop the bonnet and look for a clean oil filter. It won't stay clean long...
