Jeff the Stinky Sleeper V8

## Smelly Jeff the Sleeper V8

**Smelly Jeff** is a 1995 "EF" Ford Falcon GLi that Wade bought, because it is a V8 Ford Falcon with the lowest trim level, or as Wade calls it "a Taxi". The only reason Wade bought Jeff was because it was a "Taxi" with a V8

## History

Back when Wade was a teenager, his Commodore was cacked(citation needed), someone local offered him a similar car for 500$. According to Wade, the guy he bought Jeff from said that he ran the VIN number and discovered that Ford Australia only made 9 EF GLis with alloys, a spoiler\*,and a 5-litre V8 in green.

\*The spoiler was a cheap aftermarket spoiler, not a factory spoiler, so there were probably more Jeffs made in the old Ford factory. However many Jeffs remain has not been researched.

In the episode "Jeff the V8 absolutely stinks," he and James realised that shortly after bringing Jeff to the warehouse, Jeff's interior started to smell worse and worse to the point that Wade could no longer stand to open the door without getting a whiff of Jeff's mysterious "B.O. and cheap deodorant" (Wade, a former school teacher's words) smell. After James removed the front seats, Wade discovered two Little Trees Black Ice air fresheners hiding on the cabin floor placed by Jeff's original owner to mask Jeff's nauseating smell shortly before he sold it to Wade. Wade and James tried to get rid of Jeff's odor with a steam cleaner and a George vacuum, and despite George getting rid of the suspiciously brown stain on the passenger seat and all of the beach sand on the carpet, the horrific smell lingered.

The next day after the steam and George clean, Wade bought an aircon bomb, turned Jeff on, set the aircon's air re-circulation all the way up and left the aircon bomb in the car for fifteen minutes. The aircon bomb seemed to get rid of the odor... for a day. The mysterious smell came back the next day.

In the episode "We finally found the source of Jeffs smell", Wade and James disassembled the inside of Jeff to discover what was causing the smell which smelt like “sausage roll farts and durry smoke.” As it turns out, Jeff was also a giant mouse nest, as there were several mouse carcasses in the car, specifically in the passenger side rear door frame and under the transmission lever, mouse feces absolutely everywhere, and worst of all, inside the headliner, there was the mouse nest itself, even more mouse poo, and a giant pee stain. But on the flip side, James found a $1 coin from 1993 next to the retractor.

The headliner, seats, carpet, and absolutely everything else that was inside of Jeff was thrown out, the inside was sprayed with white vinegar, and the front seats were replaced with a bench seat from an ED model Ford Falcon... which James had to cut a hole through for the handbrake. But at least Jeff runs well, and he no longer stinks!
