CC you must have the most talked (Typed) about single vehicle on the whole of TDO and to quote Clarkson maybe "In the world".

Would the aforementioned Mr Clarkson rave about the sound - he has been known to get his aficionados to "Listen to the noise".

Is it still a whine or, as rumoured on other threads hereon, has it developed into a grind? I do slightly wonder if it could go on to a "Bump and Grind".

Are you the only person aware of this noise or do your passengers beg you to stop so they can escape the dreadful cacophony?

You set the scenario but we, the great unwashed, wait on tenterhooks for the next instalment of this ongoing soap opera.

Not least if the less than Superb is to go, what will get the lead part in the next chapter?

Its got to the point where its easier to knock the f*cking thing out of gear while talking to passengers......of course as soon as they start screaming again, I put it back in gear.

During the world cup I did manage to get away with it, I told passengers it wasnt the car is was a vuvuzela on the radio, I cant get away with that now.

I have a number of choices, and some arent actually legal.

The best bet is to carry on with gradually increasing the volume of the radio.

The worst will involve buying a new car, maybe second hand.....I like those chrysler 300CRD's, except for the fact it would have to be black, with shadied out windows and a suspension which dances.

My LA insist on white with no shadied out windows, although they are fairly neutral on the suspension......which is worrying.

Perhaps the aforesaid Clarkson might buy the less than Superb, to be an artistic juxtaposition to the Jet Fighter he bought before - I believe that that particular piece of transport machinery could really scream not just whine in its heyday.

It might even get to the stage of sounding like he's pushing some as well.
