Pat,
A Healey driver with side exhausts purposely downshifting to attract more
attention? Shameful! I can just hear your 100M's 100 decibels of raucous,
blatting sidepipe symphonics!! Love it. I'd pause along side that for
awhile to listen too. Our cars do have the best exhaust note.
Vrooom vrooom,
John
