might have posted this before actually...
I used to drive a Scamp.... www.dudley100.freeserve.co.uk/scamp.4.jpg with a side-exhaust and a 1430cc Mini engine... many many horsies. IT smoked like a sod, and poured oil fumes out when it was cold... but it was loud, fun and fast. It had a side-exit exhaust just behind the driver's seat...

A white volvo 850 T5 came howling past me on a huddersfield dual carriage way... we stopped at lights... he revved his engine, I revved mine... and Ogwen (sat nex to me) said... You're not gonna race him are you?

Nope... Lights turn orange and I hit the accellerator as hard as possible... 7500rpm and my lil car screams like a beast. The volvo took off... rubber smoke etc.

I then put my car in gear, and pottered up to teh next set of lights. The guy sat there looking smug...

Ogwen and I sat there laughing at the resultant sooty oil-slick plastered down the side of his pristeen new white volvo.

Pleasure. God yes.
