Took the bull by the horns and took the chim into a multi storey car park, gulp!! Luckily the one I chose had 16 floors, it was awesome, the sound of the V8 is excellent in there, of course I had to park on the top floor! I think i may just have to go back. Add that to the return blat through the dartford tunnel and the day was complete.

You bad girl...

Don't know if the Sagaris will set off car alarms in the way the Cerb did.....

Don't know if I could get the Sagaris up & round a multi storey....

Oh...so much to learn and so little time....

At the moment I'm trying to get my head around converting my music files to MP3...thought it would be easy....yeah right....

See you soon Roo....

That's fine mate....you know you're welcome.
If it really is a hoard, I would be grateful to know how many cars a few days beforehand to assist with the catering.
Cheers.

Did you have any problems with the chim grounding anywhere, the one I'm getting still has the front splitter and was wondering if it would get caught.
Oh I am looking to my first one.

Mine only tends to ground on some speed humps - some have to be taken at such a slow speed it'll almost roll back down. Never had a problem with multi-storey car park ramps though. If mine does ground on humps it is also usually in the centre of the car rather than the front.

Grounded the splitter on the odd (particularly viscious) speed bump... in fact in one case I managed to knock the think off completely - wasn't funny at the time... it sounded expensive

I wouldn't worry about it too much... approach them at a slight angle (as you'd drive a 4x4 over a ditch) and it helps...

Aaaagh, the Dartford Tunnel. I have a Griff with sports exhaust and used to love nothing more than dropping into 2nd, accelerating, then baking off to let it pop and bang. Always checked the rear view mirror in case any tiles fell of the ceiling / walls

I was gobsmacked, there was no grounding and there was loads of room to manouvre, maybe I am just more confident driving the car. Did think "OMG what have I done coming in here?" but then had so much fun forgot the rest.

With the warmer weather and heater air the cerb is banging like a london hoe!

Several times whilst passing the local cop shop, Ive tried to creep past at 2k revs, easy-sqeezing the throttle gently, teeth clenched in silent earnest when a sonic boom of groundshaking window shattering proportions just falls out the arse end

Bloody fantastic (except for the timing) Multistoreys are are to men what the rampant rabbit is to... well, you get my point

I can heartily recommend the ToysRus multi-storey (I think that's it- first left anyway - in Woking.

I've never really thought of my car as loud, but what a great noise I make.

Mind you the partial de-cat might have something to do with it.

PS: Anyone using second gear is a woose!

Brent Cross (where they fimed the Bond car chase) is great fun! It sounds wonderful with the exhaust note bouncing off the parked cars and walls!! (and passing shoppers on their way to their 'tin boxes'!

I'll have to remember that one next time the other half calls me childish and sad. Some people just don't get it do they?
