if you noticed it's not subconscious - it's just damn good fun.... laugh

I don't have a dump valve, however I do open the window and make a loud "BOOOOoooshhhh" noise with my mouth when overtaking. I also do this when walking faster than someone and passing them on the pavement laugh

I gotta admit I do it all the time, specially when you have some 'wanna av a go' chav next to you, but soft top cars are good too, I put the window down just to listen to it myself, its an ace feeling

They think there's something wrong with your car. tongue My exhaust is plenty loud enough even pootling about - TBA I get a bit bored of people turning round and looking for what just set off a sensitive car alarm. crazy

Fair enough - but your not your average girl then are you. wink Plenty of blokes dont know either mind. I remember was I was a nipper hearing a dump valve and asking my dad if the car was broken or leaking air...

Common? I thought it was expected?

I always do this. Cruising past people when all are minding their own business, but you can't resist a dump. Got some middle aged guy in a Focus ST to applaud me as I did this. Not sure why? Chavvy? Jealous? Retarded? confused

It's better with girls in Corsa's when they have the window down. I just can't resist it...

Since finding out how loud my car is, I've come to going past convertibles on full tilt. That'll learn ya! You can look at meeee instead of people looking at youuuu. tongue

The worst habit is doing it to pedestrians on the side of the road - a la all Scoobies. There a few pubs beer gardens I know that back onto a road. Sad, but still legal so what the hell?

I used to think DV's were chavvy but really they're just humungus fun! laugh

You think they are saying 'wow look at that amazing car'

When really they are saying 'look at that knob'

Seriously I'm always slagging off mofo's in cars who think they are cool. They only people I consider cool are those with stupidly nice cars giving it the beans on a suitable road.

Yeah but all the girlies parading themselves outside a pub for on-heat males, can't see that, can they? tongue

Assuming of course you care about girls seeing your manly prowess...
