Can I get in trouble for this?

[anonymous-user]

I work carpark is an underground one, well it has a roof and a loud echo.
My Mini is very very loud and everyday when I finish work I set off at least 2 car alarms. One is always a black Clio and the other a new shape Fiesta.
Nothing I can do about it but the sound just makes the alarms go crazy. Is there anyway possible way I could get in trouble for this then?

Probably depends on who owns the car park - I suppose you might get banned from it.

It's council owned. No one has complained about it yet, I'm just worried.
It's not like it is on purpose or anything, as soon as I leave the car park no alarms are set off.

Really? It's that loud at 1500 rpm? Fit a more sensible exhaust?

I need more than 1500rpm to get up and out of the car park. I'm not going to ride on the clutch, and the exhaust is a stage 2 so don't want to make it slower.
Sounds great, just when in a car park it is lethal.

A few om my Mini's were capable of performing drive-by-alarming too. Top Bombing I say! Pics of said Mini please!

I have a thread here

Soon to be red with black roof and arches. And having a new steel front end. Fetching the front this weekend.

• Oh and found out it's a 71 not 72 when took for MOT.

Don't act like you're not trying!!

One of my Saxos used to do the same sometimes to a Clio V6 I drive past on the way to work. On accident....

I don't try not to. But I don't floor it.
Not sure what I do but things just happen and I imagine I'm pissing off these people and thought I could get in trouble for it.

My Impreza sets off the odd alarm in car parks. Standard (Prodrive) exhaust, so not a lot i can do about it. It's not actually all that loud,and doesn't happen to often, so i can only assume some people turn up the sensitivity of their car alarms?

Chopper near me has got a dog of an old Celica with barryboys bits all over. Just walking past it sets the alarm off. I guess that's why he parks it underneath my bedroom window and not outside his own house.

I think it's just the base frequencies. Harleys do it and that annoys me because they sound so sh*t. Scoobs and classic Minis, on the other hand, sound great.

Carry on as you were.

I love the sound of a big Harley

Off topic slightly - Was once behind a TVR Sagaris and its revving shook my old car it was that loud and powerful. Also behind an old Audi and its exhaust set off a brand new Merc coupe thing from about 2 cars away. I got into trouble from passers by for laughing as they thought it was me! As someone said before - Top bombing!
