annoying the neighbours

[lovemytvr]

Was told off at the weekend by the next door neighbours for leaving the engine running for 10 mins - those bl..dy fans are too noisy by half - Cannot wait to get the sports exhuast fitted!! Anyone have similar problems??

My neighbours have a Triumph Herald convertible which they like to rev occassionally. Therefore when I got the TVR - well, it would be rude not to....

They havent taken the Herald out since! Well, they did like to refer to it as "the sportscar" - just had to put them straight on that one....

Cheers,

Paul

Was talking to the wife about this last night, neighbours both side houses are up for sale, one sold. I was going to park the Chimaera out the front stand well back and get a photo, thought it would be quite funny.
Come to think of it.... BOTH houses up for sale????

God knows what our neighbours think , got a 4ltr Chimaera , and a very loud 400SE . At times have resorted to pushing the car to the end of the street . Won't start them until after 10 at the weekends , major problem arises every Monday morning as I have to be at the airport by 6.30am !!

I park my Chimaera at the back under a car port. There are walls on both sides and flats going 3 floors up! Get the pitcure?
I'd love to leave it running for 5/10 minutes in the morning to warm up but don't have the heart! It's bad enough just starting it and hearing the noise reverberate around 5+ bedroom windows!!!!!

The above thread sounds amzingly similar to my flat.....They hated me in my pre-cat Griff..in fact two occupants actually said to the guy fitting my new speakers...'I hope you are nicking that'....tossers....anyway now I have the Cerbie there have been no complaints....but with the sports exhaust being added this weekend watch this space......especially as there is a little tunnel under the flats to get to the car ports...might just sit there blipping for an hour or so..or until I run out of fuel....shouting 'I'm back !!!'

Bloke over the road has a 944 with s/exhaust. Saturday mornings usually involves him waking up the whole road with a ten minute warmup before laying some rubber.
I look forward to showing him how its done when I get my Tiv
