Default Sheep, and Spoon exhaust's don't mix!

Been a fun weekend. To long runs, top down in the countryside.

I stopped off near the Cow and Calf - rock landmarks near Ilkley, West Yorkshire to take a picture. Honda-R are running a Calender picture competition so I'm scouting locations right now. Well, blasting past and occasionally remembering to stop anyway!



Anyway, just after I'd taken this photo, a nice couple came over. The usual, nice car comments. Then the bloke mentioned the sheep - 'Did you know your car's driving the sheep mad?'.

Apparantly, the sheep had been calmly enjoying the weather like everyone else, until I'd turned up. The particular music from the Spoon exhaust seems to set every sheep for miles bleeting!

After a few minutes everything was quiet. So in the interests of science, I started the car, and gave a little throttle blip. Sure enough, one the revs had died down there was a corus of bleeting!

So if you pass a load of sheep bleeting away, it's possible a Spoon equipped S2000 just ahem pootled past!

Hope everyone else is enjoying this patch of good weather as much as I am

-Brian.

(Note: No Sheep were harmed*)

















* Okay, maybe some suffered some extra stress

Great minds think alike, Subaru!

I'd been looking around for a nice piccy of an MCB since I picked up my own 3 weeks or so back. Brian's photo is much better than any of the others that a quick trawl of the gallery in the site and the internet more generally had been able to turn up........

Guys, I'm hoping to take a real calender shot next weekend.

Just been waiting to get my new number plates on (see other thread in a minute!), plus my new wheels (replacements for coroding originals.)

-Brian.
