Sir, – In “The 49 Jaguar F-Type – an old-fashioned and loud-as-heck sports car” (November 30th), I read of “the exhaust note with the rest of the car thrown in for free”, and “ its thunderous roar and addictive overarching crackle”.
Noisy cars, including the small ones, are spreading fast here in Australia and in Ireland. Why? Does it help in driving from A to B? Or are cars now just expressions of pseudo-masculinity (or femininity). The increasing racket on the roads is just appalling, and totally unnecessary. – Yours, etc,
