In answer to you question Josh, no I don't think so - it was an impressive sound.

Craziness is reserved for old duffers like Optimist 60 and I when it becomes apparent that whatever the desire, the capricious mistress of advanced years permit nothing but wishful thinking. :( :(

A 680 v8 scania with twin side pipes or uprights. We have a lot of them over hear and its a competition to see who gets loudest. Big kids really, double clutching when changing gear to get the full effect, etc.
