What the fraggle are you doing with a spare muffler just \"sitting in your room\"? Makes no sense!

LOUD ENOUGH!!! If it's the system I'm thinking of, last time I was on a run with THAT car I kept looking into the skies for the WWII plane that kept howling around me.

I don't know what was worse, the car or the idiotic grin on the previous owners dial everytime he swooped past on a "fly-by" :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ah yes, the imitation Meschersmit. We spent ours scanning the sky for a vintage plane only to work out it was coming from the blue car in front! :shock: :mrgreen:
