Just took my nephew out for a spin with the roof down, and after scaring him a little bit with acceleration, as i stopped at a traffic lights I had a small child walk past covering his ears and shout 'Your car is very loud!'. It certainly made me chuckle, thought i'd share that...

I remember once having parked the Chim with tail towards the seating area at the mucky duck (Black Swan)on a nice sunny day.

Start up with a blip of throttle, and several small terrified children go running back to their parents.

Parents just laughed !

A story i've told before on here,i was parked in a side street taking a call when 2 lads cycle up the street and stop and ask if they can take some photos,i said sure,with that they dumped their bikes in the middle of the road and started snapping.An AMG Meredes 2 door comes around the corner and starts hooting at the lads to move their bikes,one of them walks up to the Merc,no idea what was said but Merc driver sat patiently thereafter whilst the lads took their pics.
A few days later i'm filling up at a petrol station when a van load of Polish builders pull up and start taking pics of the TVR,one of them asks if i'll pop the bonnet.the same Merc pulls into the next pump,the guys take absolutely no interst in what must be in Ireland a couple of hundred thousands worth of Merc.It just goes to show you the fan base these cars have,hurry up boys and lets see what the next chapter of this iconic brand has to offer....
Ah,frightening Childer,sat at the lights and theres 5 young shavers,the bravest asks me to blip the trottle ( I have a no cat system with a Clive F Y piece )i duly oblige and the young lad who asked got such a fright jumped back and knocked his 4 mates over like skittles....

Saw a couple of kids about 100m in front of me whilst I was accelerating out of a junction. One kid drops his bag of sweets and covers his ears.

whistle

This was a few years ago when I had my Chimaera. So now that kid is probably of voting age, hates sports cars and votes for the Green Party. Sorry.

I just grinned, shouted out 'sorry' and then booted it away past him when the lights went green.

You'd use pepper spray for that, not dowling.

I find them all frightening. Specially in this part of Norfolk.
