Up to 3000 revs it growls, over 3000 it starts to wail, over 4000 it positively howls, and over 5000 it screams better than Pamela Anderson

oh, and it pops and bangs like a Bosnian battlefield!

Neighbourly it aint

I still reserve the right to withhold comment until it has gone 'head to head' with P'Berts S.

Looking forward to hearing the new addition tomorrow. Does it improve the sound all the way through the rev range or only at the upper end ?

Hoping for good weather tomorrow so I can hear it properly down the motorway.

Ah I'm well trained, I know that all car repairs and upgrades cost around £150.00 . Funnily enough computer bits seem to cost about the same......

I do like a challenge.. Prefereably one I can win though

I ought to be able to win the most noise for your money prize though.. (Providing we ban Minimax - have a feelign that new purchase might be seriously loud)

Think we'll have to do a bit of a comparison on the motorway tomorrow, Al.

strangley the phrase 'come on boy, squeel for me... squeeeeel' seems appropriate althoug I'm sure they didn't have tyres in mind!

Cannot not wait to here it. Is the Tubi better sounding on a 348 spider then on a 355 spider. ????

Did you hear Minimaxs' Ginetta?

That was louder, cruder, but louder.

The Fezza is a better sound though.

It was fantastic hearing Rods & Al playing down the M1. You would hear one wind up first and then the other follow - heaven. Both sounded great but I reckon Al's is about the loudest thing I have heard. When the 348 goes screaming past at 70(ish) on the motorway it sounds fantastic. Best de-cat ever.

I thank yow all



I do think Vicki coped admirably though

After a short burst of huhmm40mph she just looked across and said, "now that's just plain irresponsible.... a second later Rob thundered past... it was about then that she realised she was fighting a lost cause
