the quiet option on my exhaust actually broke half way around. a small bracket broke on the manifold letting in air causing some big backfires. the resulting fireballs destroyed the valves routing the exhaust through the silencers. I have to be honest it was fun but i better get it fixed this week!

phew, got me worried then..thought my route had caused it.

I'm still amazed that Grahams exhaust on the V8S is still in tact, thats had more than a few scrapes now

Good Good.

I still keep laughing to myself about you scaring the life out of me at Gordano services. When you started it up I thought hmmm, that sounds like it's gonna be interesting going through the tunnels...then you revved it and i jumped outta my skin!!! I dont think i've moved that quickly in a long time!! biggrin
