There's a bloke lives nearby who owns a really old Vauxhall Corsa. It's pretty much a wreck. Rusted and falling apart.
He's now added this twatting great exhaust that looks like a Jet engine. You can hear him coming from miles away, the earth trembles, everyone looks round - then around the corner comes this wrecked piece of crap - but he's hanging out of the window with his shades on as if to say - "Come on girls, come and get it in the love wagon."
He slows down, then accelerates, deafening everyone as he roars away at about 15mph.
Mate - don't even get me started with this argument - I am quite a tolerant person, which I am sure those who have met me will agree.
However if there is one thing I cannot stand is these bloody exhausts.
I think this is one area the police needs to place more emphasis rather than people on phones, speeding etc.
Imagine if we all had the damn things?
After all, there are great lengths and limits on aircraft engines, why not cars?
