It has an interesting sound when chugging along at low revs. Is funny as people turn to look expecting there is a lorry.

Something that made me happy today. I am relieved as someone is taking me seriously. The two big battles I have had (And the first is my own fault through not being able to put words to feelings or clamming up when I have an opportunity to talk (Clamming up... More like brain hits an invisible wall and can't think what to say!). Today I amazed even myself. I was able to open up a bit.

This is in theory... I know it is not practical. Is just me thinking aloud.

Thinking about it, it may not reduce the sound much....


Why would I want to reduce the sound volume? :?


I like powerful but quiet cars that sound powerful but subdued. Why do I want to wake everyone up if I drive past at night? :lol:


I prefer to hear my engine sing, not mumble to itself. :nerdy:

Oh this can sing! When one hears the whistle of the turbo with the growl of the engine and you're away! It is quite an interesting car to drive. Power on out of the corner, up to speed and then coast to the next corner. Coast as in power off and it sort of freewheels.. not much engine braking which is unusual for a diesel.

Visiting a pet store and getting to hold a brown-and-white dove, a ball python, and a bearded dragon, and getting lots of ideas of what I'd like to put in my fish tank once I get it back into a liveable condition. And baby frilled lizards!
