Race car to work day

[MaddRT]

So just picked up my ph1 on my lunch break from having the 197 cams fitted
Pulling into the car park making a bit of a racket as car wants to cut out & no ePAS makes parking rather a bit challenging
I get out and the first thing I get is "I was wondering who the boy racer was"

Now, I am female and maybe this is why but does this annoy anyone else? Any other experiences when taking their loud clio into work?
My daily is a hybrid Lexus so it really is 2 ends of the spectrum here lol

I used to go a little bit quicker in the work car park and because i had an induction kit it sounded faster than it was. Got a few complaints from other companies and just did a big burnout past the offices complaining about me on the last day

I work in a school and rock up in my civic with a huge rear wing and a loud exhaust, that gets some looks lol.

 

[Twingo 1??]

I used to get funny looks in the Twingo as that is loud with lumpy cams and very free flowing exhaust lol

I love the disapproving looks you get when you drive a loud car. I think it's hilarious, partly because we probably all do it ourselves to some degree, but also because I love how uptight people get about it. They're busy judging you, while probably driving the most mundane turd of a car imaginable. If they make silly comments about my car, that probably says more about them than it does about me. Who cares what people think. Better to enjoy your life than not do things in case someone else thinks its sad.

Yeah I tend not to do it in mine as theres no PAS, buckets, a non resonated ktec stealth and solid mountings everywhere

It's like sitting in a loud vibrator😂

One of the nice things about working in a big engineering outfit is there are lots of car enthusiasts. One bloke turns up to work every day in a full blown PS13 drift car, still covered in rubber from the weekend.

Yep all the time. Take my MR2 in on a Friday sometimes and you can see them all bitching like school girls. Probably saying mid life crisis blah, blah...

Word. I know I'm in the right place of work as we have an annual car show for everyone to bring in their projects and non dailys. Even has trophies too, clio turbo won it a few years back 😂

I had this. Pulled into work car park and didnt have to slow down as the barrier was up already. When I got out the security guy came over asking me to slow down or he would report me next time.

I checked my dashcam and I was doing 18mph maximum...

Even relatively loud car exhausts ain't got s**t on the illegal off-road bikes you see (and hear) being ridden around by chavs.

I reckon with some of the land they've got spare they could do some awesome amateur motorsport. Sadly the big wigs are all wanking over getting everyone to cycle to work whilst rocking up in a 458...
