It takes your car from being deathtrap that you drive because you can’t afford anything else to eccentric retro car that you are looking after (which you are) in eyes of not only the law but…

It was probably a young Kadett at the Ad agency.

Also the faster you go the more you leave the sound behind! or, anyway that’s how I think it works in my Vanagon
