with reference to the old man volvo thing.......one of the neighbours nodded to me today as i now drive a burgundy estate just like the 4 other sensible estates in our road.
.............miserable gits have spent the previous 17 years looking down their noses at me when i had me bikes gto n galant.
ill be invited to the residents meeting next.....must get to m&s to get a tweed cap............
..........and halfords next door for a dump valve
I'll add my fuppenny bit if I may; It is all down to personal taste, nothing more.
If MrsM doesnt like a DV then she doesnt fit one, if someone else does, they do.
I used to have a Punto GT with all the gubbins and it was quick but the addition of the DV gave me that extra little indescribeable thing that boys like.
As someone said earlier you can control the sound to a degree. Dont floor it and release your foot slowly will sound very different to hammering the pedal and lifting quick.
One annoying thing though is some sound like someone shouting 'Tisht' while others have a sexy noise that evokes powerful machinery. It is hard to tell what is the defining factor as to what noise is made.
I have seen some with trumpets. Do these go 'Toot'?

its all down to pressure control.....a low pressure release produces the "tisssshhhh" while a higher pressure let off produces a deeper,more satisfying "whoooosh"....followed by a slipper to the side of the head and orders to open the window......
'think the same principle applies to dv's too.....
