[alfa] RE: Smoke (Brake Fluid)

[Gil Gagne <gilgagne@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The same thing also happened to me in my  1971
Spider 1750 back in the
mid seventies. It was in rush hour traffic
northbound on I93 just north of
Boston when all lanes came to sudden stop. My
engine stumbled a little
while a huge cloud of white smoke behind me
envelloped all four lanes.
Luckily everyone was stopped by then or there
might have been multiple
collisions.
