Returning from the NEC today, I stopped off for petrol. Filled up, and went in to pay. A number of vans from a particular company pulled in, and joined the queues for petrol. Paying took a couple of minutes, and as I walk back to the car, van man waiting behind me does his best impression of a F1 car at pole (if of course a highly tuned F1 car sounds like a Dyson). Okay, the guy is displaying his impatience, and is in a group so less inhibited. Was I right to give it a couple of HKS stylee s of my own - which drowned out van chap, the M1, everything really ?

It is rather suprising how much noise an S with HKS bouncing sound off WVM can make - especially standing still. My ears are kind of still ringing.

Most likely, but I'd have had to join the back of the fuel queue to find out
