Have modern cars become so dull and overly competent that the defining feature of a Golf automatic is how loud it can backfire going past the local drive-thru on the bypass?
Christ I'm getting old. I thought whoosh dump valves were bad enough for scraping the barrel.
I think I'm going to get an Aygo and take up stamp collecting.

Mind you, I was out for an evening wander with my son a couple days ago when a Lamborghini convertible went past us and started to slow for the speed camera. Now that was a noise. Growling, roaring and popping. Proper aural drama.
