You guys are great.
This is an owners site, and you're ripping the fuck out of me for simply venting my fustrations.. Great!
I was sitting (static/ not moving/ wheels not turning) in a car parking space with the engine running, next to my friends. They decide to go and have a race. Police turn up, hear my car running and do me for having a loud exhaust, most probably because it gone midnight.
I'm not a relation of Jade Goody, and I am not a "Thick fuck"
Thanks for your abuse.

They would have to test it with a machine mate they cant just hear it idling and fine you, or I'd be bankrupt by now!

I wouldnt pay it, not until it was properly tesed. Think 98db is the legal limit, which Group N and A rally cars have to obide within, is your car that loud?

How loud is 98db? At some track days its 105db. I know the sound from a jumbo jet taking off is 140db. But what is 98db?.....
(i wonder if that was a good idea.....)
