    A local person who lives only 1 mile from me owns the car.

    Apparently, he is selling it for £3000 (around $6000USD).

    The bang was so loud, it made me jump.

    I saw him press a button on the dash, and then 1/2 second later it went bang so loud, it was defening.

    Warning: Don't drive near this car if you are in Cornwall, the bang is as loud as a gunshot.

    The driver of the car is 17, and i know him, his name is Ryan.

    I don't understand why people like cars with loud mufflers, for attention perhaps? ;)

    A muffler is an exhaust - it's US/Canada speak!
    £3000 for that heap of shite? The price must be in the body kit.

    His exhaust and lights are illegal too. It wouldn't pass an MOT - at a proper garage doing the test correctly.

    Oh well...it must have passed a test, or it won't be on the road. There are plenty of cops here, and i am sure if he were breaking the law, he would be caught by now...if he ran, he would be arrested when he got home.

    A garage passed my scooter when the rear brake light switch needed replacing (eg: it was stuck on). Normally, it is an instant fail if you have this problem. I fixed this problem 3 weeks after the MOT, because it was really cheap to do.

    When i get money, im gona buy one of these: http://www.scooter-attack.com/shop/artikel.php?s=&artnr=A-MULTILEDAEROX&modell=114&l=navigation

    Read the information about the product carefully.

    That is a Ford Escort, circa 1990. They don't make them anymore.

    They don't even make leaded petrol anymore. Unleaded was made to replace leaded.
