Great thread! Some amazing vids on youtube, but won't post 'cos I don't want to take this off topic.
Old Landy running on 3 cylinders (it was using the 4th cylinder to mash up an intake valve). Drove it a good few miles like this...About 30 seconds in.
3 Cylinder diesel landy
In a similar vain:
Stag running on coolant
My Triumph Stag after it decided it would add coolant to the more normal air/fuel mix.
Landy after we put a rebuilt engine in it...
How it should sound

As requested.... There is a fab underground carpark recently opened in Newbury.... and is worth every penny parking there when you hear your exhaust note bouncing off of the walls

Lots of wind noise, but you can still hear the engine somewhat.

An 80s MG with a twist

It's not my video, so please bear in mind that my friend got one language wrong - for Spanish, read Italian - and there are more messages than the video shows... The car - a left hand drive R-series 1600 - is unique in the UK, and was originally sold new in Germany.
Erroneous messages are, thankfully, rare (but sadly not extinct
).
The drive-past doesn't sound too bad either, but that can wait for another time

I never did hear one in the flesh (or plastic) "lets hear your classic dash"

I never realised it was so easy to upload iPhone video to YouTube.
Here's a clip of my '72 after a little work over winter. First drive of the year so far and nothing seems to have fallen off yet.
