Why do old people automatically assume this 
I've just deristricted and drilled my airbox, (sounds really nice btw  ) and took it for a spin round the block. Was driving down the road in 2nd at 35mph for about 10 seconds just to hear what it sounds like and this old man gave me the worst look you've ever seen  it was like I was doing 100mph in a 30
Now he's just walked past my house staring at my car
Rant over

It's not that it is the fact that the noise is to loud for their old delicate ears

Know what you mean mate. Was driving through town last weekend and further ahead there was an old man crossing the road. Bearing in mind we were travelling less than 20 mph and he stops in the middle of the road with his stick pointing at us saying you stupid fools, and we were both like eh we aint even speeding but he will have just heard the engine.

i had this the other day... lost my temper at the top of my road because some dumbass had double parked and i was half into my street half hanging ou onto a busy main road... so i well and truly lit the tyres up, never exceeded 20 mph though but left 2 bit black lines down the street. Some fat bint in a focus looked at me like i was something she'd stepped in, neglecting the fact it was her that'd caused the obstruction in the first place

I'd hate to think what it's like if you have a catback system on or any type of none standard exhaust really

people have given up with my car, had it so long and they all accepted the noise now
people don't mind my neighbour flooring his RS4 tho, is bloody loud, but no one blinks an eye, take a second look, infact he's mister popular with the street

Not delicate, due to the fact that most of them are just plain deaf

Probably that they can never hear cars, so when they do they assume it's speeding

Can you imagine the speeds they must think the drivers are doing when they see a 1.2 8v coming down the road on 21's & a big jap bodykit?!

He probably thought 'look at the idiot in the 1.2 8v trying to make it sound good,
wouldn't have happened in my day'
