Spotted near Jesmond Metro Station, Newcastle, last night red Cerbera (I believe the reg was C2ERBY or something very similar)

Lovely noise approaching the roundabout.

While on the subject of pops, noticed my 4.5 pops a lot more in hot weather. Wonder why? maybe just due to pushing it a bit harder when the roads are bone dry.

So does mine - I get a really huge bang sometimes. I think it is just because the air sensor is telling the ecu that it is hot and that more fuel is required and that more than is really needed gets through and then BANG as it exits the exhaust. I caused a few people to almost fall over as I drove into reading at lunchtime!

Actually will fuel more in the cold, since the air is denser, so you can burn more. More likely the mixture is even leaner, hence the banging! Either way, enjoy :-)

I seemed to pop a lot more on French fuel. I use optimax over here so there should be no difference as they're both 98.
