Cars and cats
So, the Pimpmobile's rattles and sounds were getting a bit much and I took it to a local garage to get it up on the ramp to see what was going on. I already knew the rear heat shield was loose and they said it wasn't needed and ripped it off. Then they gave the catalytic converters a thump and all became clear - they are ancient, and basically completely fubared. The internal components of the cats are loose and rattling, hence all the peculiar sounds and the loud clacking noise when accelerating hard. They quoted £135 for a new front pipe and cats which is actually pretty good. Going to get it done as it's really bloody annoying. Also some git has scraped the passenger side rear door and arch, which is annoying. Also got a rear light to replace the broken one.
