Default Interior drumming

Hi everyone.

When you have both windows down and driving above say 36mph do you get a low down drumming in your ears as air bounces about?

haha, i guess it is.




my bumpers arent off of anything. theyre just off. lol
i have the front 5mph bumper removed and all that remains is the blade.
the i removed the black junk on the rear, modified the gas struts, and then cut and polished the old bumper to a mirror finish. im stunned with the results and quite pleased that you like it.

Most of the technical jobs in my garag start with a big hammer! I am always interested in the following of British Cars in the states, is it because they can go round corners? H

American cars can go around corners. Just really slow.

Well now I'm going to have to post some pics of the roads here. They are actually pretty nice to drive on 6 months of the year. The rest of the time they're covered in salt, ice or frost heaves.

That's a bit like where I am....about 45 miles from the original Hampshire....my daily driver is a diesel Range Rover so no problems in the snow with that, my last two dailys were x300 which one can only call entertaining in the deep new snow and up a hill!

I thought all roads in cape canaveral led to the moon?

Tyler street will lead you to a guy named Treyvon who stands on the street corner, and for a premium, he will lead you to the moon. lol
