As a fairly new contributee to PistonHeads I am hooked, but it's fairly quite at the moment, am I missing something
There's plenty of activity elsewhere.... come join us! Try General Gassing as start.

You know Manu, it's just as well you have a robust personality since there's not exactly a huge supply of sympathy on this board is there? Good thing too 
Took a Ferrari owning mate from Australia out in the 360 & 456; he's the one who had a 360 then bought a 456 with a Tubi on it. He was BLOWN AWAY by the sound of the Tubi on the 360; if he still had his he would be on the phone when he got home I can tell you. He thought the Koenig on the 456 was MUCH quieter than than the Tubi. He gets a louder 'rumbling' sound at cruising revs, plus it pops on the over-run. NO MANU
And btw, I think I know what removing the cat would sound like; when you start from cold, doesn't the cat get bypassed? Coz when I first start the 360 it's louder'n hell and sets off the car alarms, but after a couple of minutes the sound suddenly moderates to its normal level. Mmmm

God I need a loud exhaust fix. Kevin give me a call when you next start up the 360, I'll listen out of my window at home I am a dead man walking - I NEED a car - A proper CAR - I NEED IT TO LIVE!!!! Someone help me!!!! 
And I hereby swear in front of all Pistonheads (Ted - you can be witness) to chuck sooo much of my own stock at my car that there will be nothing but hollow pipes from the race header out into the air.....
No videos for Guy/Domster/Ninja ..... and now Kevin!

Does that mean I'm still in with a shout then Manu?
Hi Kev, how you doin fella? Have you finished all your jaunts then? I bet it's hard work leaving those Ferraris sat at home - I don't know how the hell you do it.
Have you had chance to upload the photos of donington yet? A couple of friends this side of the divide don't believe I actually had a "Hoon" in the 360. Silly people !!!!
Don't know if you caught 5th gear a few nights back. Good old Tiff was giving a 360 a bit of stick around some track - brought all the memories back
Still grining like a Cheshire Cat - even now.

Thats not why Manu's arse is hurting is it?
Sorry, couldn't resist. Tried to sooo hard, actually hit my hand trying to stop myself.

Ninja - I'm actually going to STEAL your 355 - you've been given warning... and now I going to nick it.
As long as you put a tubi on it before you feel guilty and hand it back
Actually, don't! My mums taking my car for a spin tonight to see if she can be comfortable in one. "Do you think I can go shopping to Tesco in it?", she asked! I just assumed she was joking, so didn't want to confirm it in case I was wrong. Nutter! I KNOW she wants a tubi when she gets hers.
Is this where I can get a copy of the vids then? MANU. Please mail me where they are - I need this!! 
Promise I'll keep the passenger seat free in the Chim for next time I'm around. Incidentally, could you mail me offline if you have any 'economically viable' loud exhausts for the car?
Anyway, this seems to be where all you NINJ/MANU/456GT/BLUESATIN hang out - anyone interested in a trackday at Bedford 26/10? Cracking venue...

Hi Trackdemon - where have you been? Was it your missus that was getting the Mini? Have you got it yet? Barely seen/heard from you since the last meet!
About the videos:
I'm going to hang on until Sunday to stick videos either on:
a)VHS
or
b)Mpeg on web. These can be hosted by Ninja because he already has an extensive library of erm.... "videos what capture illegal activity." ahem.... anyhows:
Will email you offline ASAP mate.

HAHA!! So you are all here!
Hi Trackdemon - where have you been?
Answer: moving house. What a crap thing this is to do, but worth it in the end - now live 15mins from work. Excellent
Was it your missus that was getting the Mini? Have you got it yet?
Indeed it is, we're going to Edinburgh tomorrow to collect, making a weekend of it otherwise would definately be at VW.. maybe next time?

I've been checking in from time to time... any news on an exhaust for the Trevor? I've been looking at getting the silencer baffles removed as this is a cheap and easy way of making more noise, problem is I've now been hearing that it's too loud for trackdays, even with silencer inserts up the tailpipe (oo-er!). So want something thats maybe a little louder but still comes under trackday tests with silencer inserts. Any ideas?
Cheers
Steve
PS
Gagging to see the some more vids, email me offline if you have them setup somewhere and I'll download.
