I would like to wish the driver of the red S F133 R-- who I followed along the A33 between Basingstoke and Reading Christmas day morning a very Happy New Year, it made my day. Even the Memsahib commented on how good it sounded when you pulled away down the Swallowfield bypass! Hopefully we will have a run out in our S2 on Tuesday with the Dorset crowd down to Swanage for fish and chips, make a nice change.

That car does sound great but it was SO LOUD on the motorway stretches of the Euro trip that nobody wanted to be near it. Even Tom & Josh in the car admitted it was LOUD and had to use ear plugs at times! On the twisties in the hills though it was a different story, it sounded fabulous biggrin

Hi Longers, do you know what exhaust it has? Nick is looking to make your old car obscenely loud. Infact, I will PM you!

Hi all, sorry it's been a busy Xmas so only just saw this post, can't believe I was spotted biggrin

It was me, travelling up to my parents to tuck the car away for winter for it's partial lift.

The exhaust looks exactly the same as the TVR Car Parts sports exhaust but I didn't put it on so I don't know for sure. It is definitely loud though, my 2yo daughter was in the car with me and told me to slow down on the motorway because it was too loud!

Sounds good Steve, and I know your pain. Mine are unprotected so god knows what I'll find when I lift the body!

Wizzer - Glad you enjoyed the sound, I seem to remember being frustrated with the speed of the guy leading our little precession so I let rip when the road opened up! It's a little annoying on long motorways but for moments like that I love that exhaust!
