my bleedin noisy neighbour......

[curlyperm11]

has a car......not sure of make or model but its 'souped' up lets say - half a dozen exhausts by the ridiculous noise it makes when he ROARS off at daft o'clock in the morning! the question is......................WHY when he has got out of this 'contraption' and gone indoors does this (supposedly) super powered engine keep running (loudly) for 8 minutes!!!!! Hes just come home and i am listening to it now - feel like punching his lights out!

sounds like the cat cooling down.

[curlyperm11]

Ahhhh right....... thank you for that : )

[owdhamer]

Steady.

Why is it always the people with these kind of cars always seem to have jobs that mean they are coming and going and crazy hours - waking everyone else up.

I always thought it was illegal to leave a car engine running when the car is unoccupied. ! Andres

i wasnt complaining about the time he comes home - just that its a damn noisy engine - i am sure the whole street must get peeed off with him! The time in the morning he 'Jets' off is 6.30 am .....and i think he must roar off about 40 mph and its only a terraced street - so.....'owdhammer' i think that as i have not yet punched his lights out .......i am retraining myself quite well - i forgot to add that his g/f has one too - but her engine doesnt drone on after she gets out of it..........so she isnt getting punched

Apart from the humorous replies, have you considered that his exhaust system may indeed be illegal ? There are limits laid down and if it's as bad as you find it certainly won't pass it's "MOT"

If it does annoy you & the neighbours I would have a word with the Chav before things get out of hand, the idiot may not realise he/she is causing a problem, if it carry's on try and get a check on the Decibels permitted by the police, then explain to the plank that you will report.

Hows about a nice sized potato secretly screwed into the exhaust.

The local plod found a very good remedy for the "richard craniums". They stop them, check the car over for any modifications tyres/exhausts/body kits etc etc. Then they contact the aforementioned plonkers insurance company to see if they have declared the mod's to the insurer. Most of them hav'nt so insurance is void and car is confiscated. Result: another useless idiot off the roads and you get a lie in.

I'm liking Easterns post!!!!
do it!!! ;-)

[eastern]

Yes somebody should have got a big medal for thinking it up. A local town was plagued with these morons driving round endlessly all evening so one night they stopped the lot of them and nearly half of them lost their cars there and then. In my experience most of them seem to work for the local tyre depot's, apparently a lobotomy is a prerequisit for this job.

i'm liking easterns post too!!!!! thanks for all the replies - come to think of it - he's got somesort of advertising all over it - so i may have a closer inspection as to what that is (assuming its his place of work) and i might also mention it to local plod................. cant just be ME whos peeed off with it? but complain - and that is 'it' then...... enemies forever?

[eastern]

Do you know any of the local constabulary? If not go to the police station and have a quiet word with one of the traffic cops, chances are he's on their radar and mention the insurance issue. If he gets his collar felt he's probably going to realise that his suspect list is long and distinguished! I wouldn't worry about it.
