I'm going to attempt to save ry here and get back to topic. I agree that people do assume a loud car is speeding, for instance when I had my 1.2 8v I'd take off in first gear, and by the time I hit 10mph its howling its head off the looks I used to get as well 
edited to say I don't however condone speeding before I get the verbal assault directed at me

i used to try to hit an indicated 30 in mine (limiter in 1st), then pop it in 3rd and coast along the rest of the road 
and i agree, the looks i used to get, you'd have sworn i was doing 90 or something
but i wasnt, i never went above 30 in it round my village

Mine does 33mph in first (indicated)
And shouldn't it really be in 4th at 30mph?

ry_b you were ragging the tits out of it to do that in first.
I have seen it done in a 1.2 8v , but it was redlining / about to explode
Clearly you shot up the street like a muppet , but you live and learn eh.

Well the limiter is 33mph...I hardly ever hit the limiter and a ragging every now and then does the engine good IMO as long as oil's upto temp

Wouldnt say it sounded good , and it must have sounded terrible because yes the filter would be deep etc , but the engine would be whining like fuck

Yea the engine does whine at 30mph+ in first, that's why I don't do it often
