Soldato
Absolutely grinds my gears. Worst is when I've just put my baby down for a nap/sleep and then 2 minutes later some toerag arrives in their chavster or moped at 180db. Revving up for no reason.
A lot of them are, but that doesn't stop people fitting loud exhaust pipes to there cars & bikesNoisy cars/bikes should be illegal imo.
Maybe he's warming up his 2 stroke so it doesn't seize.We have someone who took the muffler of there motorbike to make it as loud as possible and sits on it from about 7AM till 7:30AM every weekday morning before driving away (presumably to work). We have no idea why he sits on it idling revving it now and then, its very loud, like yes we notice your there -_- get over yourself.
When I go out in the morning, I drive very slow and try to make the least amount of noise as possible till I'm out the estate. Some people just don't have any curtesy.
For 30min, revving it every 30 seconds?Maybe he's warming up his 2 stroke so it doesn't seize.
I think a lot of young people go through a stage of having a loud car. Mine were only loud if I revved them (various V6s, and turbo hairdresser cars). I was always self conscious about being too noisy for neighbours. Always pulled away gently and as quietly as possible.
So I think loud cars are fine as long as they're not loud on idle or people are considerate with the throttle. Also remember cold starts tend to be louder as the engine warms up (it dumps more.fuel and opens up the throttle bodies a little more).
Im in my 50s now and have a loud car although its absolutely standard but is pretty reasonable with the exhaust valves closed, the difference being I dont drive like a ******* in 30mph limits and annoy everyone. Like you, I try to be considerate so reserve driving full chat to country roads and dual carriageways/motorways
Does your LSD still clunk and cause chaos to your rear axle when reversing?
Haha, that car went to the scrap heap in the sky a long time ago with some old man driving straight into it when it was parked outside my house. Makes me chuckle to myself on the old RR days when a load of you had to sit in the boot to stop the wheels spinning on the rollers
A Hoody jacket and a can of squirty foam is your friend.
Years ago a mate lived in a end semi and next block was further back than his so next doors drive was next to his gable wall- The lad that lived there had a car with the boomer system in it but he couldn't afford to tax and insurance it so sat in it every night with his girl friend with music blasting out keeping mates kid awake'
So he nipped down a pub he knew and give two junkies 50 quid to go pinch it and set fire to it.
Never had a problem after that - He also stayed in another pub till late for a good alibi.
I’d normally say something (politely initially) but as I’m only here temporarily I’m not even going to bother.
And that would be the correct way to start handling it. Perhaps he doesn't know it causes so much noise and issues for others (he could be hard of hearing)... On the other hand, he could just be a selfish idiot but, until you have that conversation, you won't know.
Once that's established, then you make the next moves from that.
