Thought i would give the car a run, get it up to temp blow the cobwebs off. Started ok, idles fine after a few blips, all good. Take it up the road about half a mile, get outside my own house, misfire and flames out of exhaust, all is not well. Same all the way back the half mile to the garage, think maybe some damp in the electrics, well i hope thats all it is, will check her over when it warms up a few degrees. Neighbours annoyed with noise satis.

yeah but flames are awesome! (if not very healthy...)

Revving the car loudly and playing the radio loudly can annoy the neighbours, another good way is to light a smelly bonfire in the middle of a hot afternoon or to drill holes for diy after 1900 hrs when they are watching telly
