Traffic And Travel

Just as with those boy racers who adapt their cars to 'roll coal' and spew toxic black smoke into the air the desire to own a vehicle which makes such a stupid sound makes no sense to me

Some motorists dream of owning a Porsche. Others might simply long for the day when they finish paying off their car finance.

I was once unfortunate enough to drive up the M6 from London to Lancashire in convoy with someone whose catalytic converter had been stolen from their car. The noise - even at a distance - was deafening. So I find it completely inexplicable that somebody would WANT their car to sound like that. What's the attraction?!At the weekend I was making a regular trip up the M6. On the way back down, I heard that unmistakeable noise: The low, guttural roar of a boy racer.

Even with her headphones on my daughter shouted "what's that sound?!" as the vile-looking car passed us. The noise was so loud it literally felt like the sound waves were passing through our entire bodies.
