Snap, Crackle and Pop

[Noodles 4.2]

Driving a TVR involves a lot of excellent sounds coming from the engine and exhaust - as you all know. After recently getting the cats removed from the Cerb I have taken out a couple of my housemates for a spin. Both are coppers. They remarked on how ridiculously loud it had become and were very worried about old / pathetic / grumbly neighbours complaining and getting me in trouble. At work today one of them went to see her Sargeant in the control room and posed the question about neighbours dobbing other neighbours in, She also asked what they would do if a member of the public phoned in and said they had just been deafened by a car spitting small flames out the back. The Sargeant said that they wouldn't even record the incident on the computer (although all calls are recorded) and nothing whatsoever would ever get followed up by a call from a neighbour.

Nice to know I thought.

So all you people being a little easy when returning late at night - give it a few blips of the throttle and go to bed knowing that things are fine!

Interesting.
Well, my local thug has already promised to insert my head in my motor.
Only problem he has is that his belly arrives 10 mins before he does.

Serious though, comments like "do that again and you are dead" and "do that again and I wil kill you" seem a bit worrying.

one of the dole-ies I used to live next to in harrogate came out one morning to complain about me starting the 3000M up at 8am .. it woke her up.
i replied : "most normal people are up and getting ready to go to work at this time... whilstever my hard-earned taxes are paying your (inset expletive) dole I'll start my car whenever the (insert another expletive) I like".
never heard from her again ...

Well i've had no complaints yet. But if i did i would just laugh and say they put up with Lancaster Bombers flying overhead during the war so im keeping the Dambusters heritage alive My friend said it sounded much better than a 355 which made me grin. It does sound like an old propeller engined plane on tick over and some sort of anti aircraft gun/ popcorn machine when it gets going. It makes me laugh so damn hard i want to cry. It is not uncommon to shout "Choks away" and salute before i set off. Chimaera S3TAY with supersports exhaust

70's Flower power, colourful, big "wings" the lot.. Fancy dress , wrong place wrong time.
The point is that some people hate to see others having a good time. i think this can apply to TVRs to.
BTW I am based on main rd, about 10 TVRs a day go past , the louder the better, they brighten up a dull day.
