Gosh, Mike, I think you MUST be talking about those American diesels:-). My
dad's 300D puffs smoke only when you REALLY step on it (usu. highway passing),
and even then, the volume of the smoke is small (a cloud about the size of ...
a portable 12" [30cm] TV set).  Smell? Well, it DOES smell (doesn't everything?)
but it smells a LOT nicer than the exhaust from our 81-model European (non- 
Diesel) sedan, whose emission-controlled exhaust consistently makes me gag.
