    We have one like that @KT53 . I think he thinks that it makes him a hit with the ladies (or gents possibly), but most of the neighbours just think he's an idiot. We used to hear him coming from at least quarter of a mile away, and could never understand why he didn't get pulled over. Then on New Year's Eve he must have gone in and out a good half dozen times, drove us nuts. Strangely, since then the car has been much quieter,  my theory is more police around that night and he finally got done.

    It is a truth universally acknowledged that a man in possession of a noisy exhaust must be in want of a girlfriend (or boyfriend)

    As the owner of a flashy Italian car with 4 exhaust pipes I can assure you that's not true at all :#

    This guy is married, but that doesn't necessarily disprove the theory. :D

    What gets me is cars with about 32 doors on them, one item out of the car, door slam, next item out, door slam.

    OK try this one. As I'm up at all times of night at the moment I get to be nosy at anti-social hours. My neighbour, the ones who refuse to recycle, are now getting a milk delivery. Nothing odd about that except the van arrives with the milk at 2am. There are no markings on the van and they haven't been putting flyers through peoples' doors advertising that they're in the area. As far as I can see they drive up the dead end road to our estate in the early hours to deliver milk to one house. The neighbours don't recycle as I said, so they're not trying to avoid plastic bottles, the milk must be frozen by the time they get it in when they wake up as it's out for hours in sub-zero temps. Does this seem in any way normal to anyone?

    At least the neighbour a few doors up have the courtesy to have their early hours deliveries brought by a shifty bloke driving down the street with the car headlights turned off. No doubt Amazon charge extra for that kind of service, SubPrime or something :#

    You do have some very "interesting" neighbours WE.  Is this a corner of Wales we should all be avoiding?
