Yeah, it is a real pity about the squigly road, the only pity is the other traffic on it.

The side pipes will sound fantastic coming off the mountain side, I think Your car will deafen people on the cable chair LoBelly.

Will have to take it easy on the Nepean Highway - the Saturday morning curb-side Latte-set don't like too much disturbance.

short story:
Recently I was following my cobra along the highway down near Rosebud, the traffic stopped and a cluster of the afore-mentioned breakfasters appeared to simultanously turn and look in the direction of my car.

I dont think that they could see it because there were parked cars between the traffic and the leasurati - and one of the seated (and scowling) appeared to be mouthing 'truck off' - in the mistaken belief that there was truck near by.

My brother - who coincidentally is half-deaf and built the exhaust system - is typically very accomodating but must not have heard them because he didn't look over in thier direction. Unfortunately, at this time the car was running a little rough (probably still cold) and had to be 'blipped' a bit to stop from stalling.

This helped a lot - the hither too pale protestor seemed to gain a lot of colour in his face, I think that the chap was also happy at his changed condition and began to express that.

While I'm not sure that my brother was aware of any of this he was obviouly enjoying the drive because I believe I could see a broad grin in the rear-view mirror.

LB.
