seems to be a growing cult my way of making your car produce multiple multiple loud bangs, today was a newish standard Cupra R, didn't seem to have any aftermarket exhaust, he was in 3rd or 4th just around 30mph ish and then just coming off the pedal and then machine gun loud noises, sounded awful wouldn't want to be inside that. How are they actually doing this, is it legal ?

Yeah noticed a lot of this too, pops and bangs maps can make it pop all the time on overrun but some cars have something as standard too, eg the mk3 RS, and I think the mk8 ST will pop in sport mode too.

You get some people driving around town with the throttle like an on/off switch...

Try living in Essex, it’s every other car lol also big rear wings have come back and slamming the car to the point you can only go 40mph is also a trend now lol

With the pops and bangs I have seen all sorts have it new Mercedes new bmws, and some proper s—t boxes to lol.
I have the the pop and bang maps on my hand held scc device but getting to old for all that

got quad bikes too tearing up and down extremely loud exhausts, no crash helmets either don't think legal require them but they accelerate very fast to easy 60+mph

there was a load of quads at southend beach on Saturday, some of them you could tell they have spent big money on them, even the police was having a good look at them
