my cooper blows a bit of smoke in the mornings due to (likely) worn valve guides/seals, the smoke has usually gone by the end of my street, so it's not a big deal, and I figure it's an extra bit of upper engine lubricant too....

anyway, this morning I was letting it warm up while my daughter put her shoes on before I took her to school, and I saw it blow 3 very clear and well defined smoke rings, about 6 inches in diameter each

I was very impressed and I thought I'd just share it

methoughts toward smoke in the morn were nothing to worry over
white smoke is just condensation in the system

what kind of exhaust system are you running, would sure like mine to do that

:lol:

I once saw an old Kingswood pumping out smoke rings at a set of lights. I was amazed...they were so perfect in shape.

Sounds like something the guys on 'Pimp My Ride' would PUT INTO a car! :lol:

Lillee decides when she wants to smoke, some mornings she doesn't smoke. Others she does... I find that she smokes most after a hard fang the night before :oops:

Pops doesn't smoke at all, because he is a wise old man :wink:
