Just took Darth for a 100mile round trip drive through all the sleepy villages around Windchester (rear windows down, 'natch). Great little roads, lots of 2nd and 3rd gear wind-outs. The noise is immense! You can hear the turbos spooling all the way until 3000RPM, it sounds like a man-eating alien lawn trimmer trying to escape from the back of the car. After 3kRPM it gets drowned by something much more angry, unless there's a chance of roadside reverberation (walls, hedges etc) where the spinning alien blades of death can still be heard above a truly silly amount of noise. Meanwhile, in the cabin, I'm laughing manically like a James Bond villain.
It is ridiculous. It is highly illegal. But I need to find a way to keep this noise in my life!
No matter where you go, there you are.
