Just saw a massive Scania lorry outside - first thing I thought was, bet that sounds epic...
Started up, yep - god that sounds porno...
I then hear a R32 with a massive pipe go up the road - god that's an irritating noise...
Is it just me?
Nope, I keep looking out the window to see what the awesome noise is then feeling daft when its a bus.
i maybe the same at work on the ferries; we have a variety or arctic trucks come on board, and also a variety of TVR's and astons regularly come through.
I pop down now and again to listen to the trucks start up and examine the blowers
R32s sound shit wuatever you do to them.
Going past lorries etc and theyre louder than my car and i just sit there thinking i want that
haha so no not just you
No I'm exactly the same. There is something great about heavy machineary working!
That ain't nothing, when I was at bristol water, I went out and about with one of the heavy/plant mechanics and we started up the back up generator for one of Bristols main pumping stations. An old v12 derv with some stupid capacity, you couldn't open the door due to the amount of air it was sucking in

Giggidyfuckinggoo
V8 scania with straight pipes is one of the best noises in the world. Has a holset hx60 which just makes it even more winning
Heh, big diesels FTFW, I spend half the day in the tractor with the window open, just for the 6 banger derv win.
And I echo a scanny V8 with straight pipes, we have one haul our combine, and fook me its literally porn, espically the guy that drives it, on the door handles, on boost 24/7, insane bus!
Nah ruan it's not just you. We all need to get a life
I do the same, especially since playing Euro Truck Simulator 2. Was at a services about a month ago just amazed by the noise of all the V8 Scanias.
I live about 2mins away from a bus yard that a trend works in and thay recently got a straight 8 triple turbo 24.7L bus in with a top speed of *cough* 65mph we took limiter off and had 120 out of it trying to keep up with a bmw lol.
sounds absolutely awesome at full chat lol
no ya dont.
big loud power from a big petrol guzzlin engine is boring for me...
hearing a tuned derv or huge old truck tickles my tankles

"It's f*cking roasting in here, the Air Con aint doing shit, but all I can hear is 6 banger diesel with boost being rammed down the inlet, no fucks are being given!"
The shunters in work sound amazing.. only got 1 little silencer
Love a big diesel noise. My old P38's BMW straight 6 with straight through pipes sounded awesome! Still prefer perv soundtrack's though.
Hmm, looks like I have a life then.... I don't like noisy busses and lorries they're too loud.
I did notice the TNT lorry has a really odd knocking noise though, no idea why but it seems different to most other lorries!
I also don't like the screaming petrols though.
I prefer the deep rumbly petrol noise, my neighbours Evo8 for a start lol....

Lol tom i thought you started this thread off lol
Glad Im not the only sad act here, TBH I think we all need some sort of self help group but sometimes I like sitting in the garden at night when they are shinting goods trains up and down or tube trains as those are proper diesels, struggling up the hill on boost is an awesome noise and they only go past at about 40 when they are heavy.
Id like to add my car to the list after having my straight through fitted today. Porn! <3
Volvo D5 engine with a straight through...
Class 37 freight train. Best noise evar
+1 Scania V8 with straight pipes. R620 on full chat!
My hdi with a 3" straight through
Heh, I park outside a Sainsbury's in the morning before work when all the big lorries are going in and it sounds sick. I especially love the start up sound of a big DI lump.
You bunch are a load of greasy Diesel bumming gaylords.
Still the noise of turbo spinning on my 1.9 is pretty damn awesome

Aaargh!
Right, there's some tractor pulling going on about 20 miles from here, starting in 10 minutes.
I'm off.
