Were doing it over 3 days I think. Leaving Kent Friday eve aiming to book a B&B around Wrexham get up Sat and drive in via the Mountsin roads. Booked a Air b&b near Anglesey Sat night so we can get pissed and enjoy Sat night Sunday up for breakfast and head to Donnington for touring cars then back home Sunday eve
Aye mine's decat non rest Ktec stealth but with a 182 manifold. I never thought that a manifold would make it much louder but it did. It definitely did ðŸ˜
Mines decanted pms byt I'm hoping I can afford both a pms manifold and sports cat before Anglesey
Ah well if it's three days then it's even better, you'll be perfectly fine with that mileage spread out. Just make sure your windows can open and you'll be reet!
I've got a 182 manifold on mine too, so I can share the pain 🤣 thankfully the phase1 gearing is slightly longer so it's not completely at max revs all day 😅
Yours might be loud when it gets on boost properly 👀

I've driven both a track prepped Clio and a R26 around there. Both perform really well but if the R26 has relatively road friendly suspension and geo I would definitely accept the suffering and take the 182.
Looking at every child on your way licking your lips aggressively
Noise cancelling ear phones with brown noise for the whole journey so you can really zone in on all the little vibrations that shouldn't be there
Knowing my luck I'd be pulled over 🤣
I wore noise cancellers all the way to Blyton, are you not allowed to wear headphones while driving? Other than looking like a wrongun?
Against the highway code, not sure if it's illegal
I was going to tag him when I found I had committed an offense tbh. Love to be cuffed and roughed up a bit by Ron.
My uncle always makes me drive blindfold
I can't hear anything over the rattles and exhaust at motorway speeds anyway, makes zero difference in my car 😂
I am exactly the same but you get used to it very quickly, plus at motorway speeds I can't hear much other than my car rattling away!
Its not even the exhaust, its the near sold engine mounts, silly loud tyres. If you can't hear anything anyway what difference does saving your hearing make? I think it takes the mini from its current dB to something more like the Lexus in terms of cabin noise and what you can hear outside the car so not missing much. To Blyton I ran them on low and it pretty much just removed the drone.... the music on top removed everything else though
It's really not a primary sense when all you can hear is AAAAAAARRRRRGGH for several hours at a time. I can't even hear sirens at motorway speeds so god only knows what else I'm supposed to be listening out for 😂
You do spend a lot of time checking mirrors when you've got them on, substantially more often than I normally would in a car that's not ASBO loud
Driving with a hood up is infinitely worse James, because then you 100% get pulled over for being a drug dealing chav whilst also not being able to hear the sirens.
Just bang them on, then spend the next 5 hours alone saying words odd trying to work out if you could learn how to pronounce words properly had you been born without your hearing. When you eventually take them off the world is too loud and you spend the next hour like the kid off the A word.
And suck the sausage
Is it not the banana game? We used to love playing that after church.
