Stretching a point and combining some of the previous posts,
50 to 100 TVRs of various models in a tunnel is a great sound.
When you get them going in both directions through a tunnel the combined
sound is excellent.Posted 2 years ago # -

Saw (& heard) Agostini on this at Olivers Mount years ago. The hairs on me neck still stand up when I just think about it.

2 stoke scooter, you have to love the sewing machine sound.
But seriously, my 1972 MGB sounds very nice with the 4 cyclider engine and straight pipes. Or my friends old 5l v12 jag again with straight pipes sounded lovely untill he blew the head gasket.

I 2nd the Napier Deltic - pluttery chuffing on the west highland line and Collared doves combine to make the unique sound of home.
I also like my transit TD at 50 mph, it sounds like a fire engine.
