Not the most obvious of thread titles but I recalled the F1 guitar video and re-found this thread.

Merging in 3...2...
 
Yeah, I do engine noises sometimes, but I can't do very many. I can imitate a Nissan 350Z, but that's about as specific as they get. I can also do a pretty good imitation of an old muscle car on wide open throttle; at least I think I can. Other than that, I can do a small diesel engine idling, a large diesel engine accelerating, and a riced out Honda with a turbo. :D There's a few generic ones too, that can probably fit stuff like Camries and Accords, you know, generic stuff. I think that's about it.

A year and a few months later, my voice has changed to the extent that I can't physically do any of those sounds anymore. Well, except for an electric car.
 
^ Those two can barely hold their breath for more than 5 seconds straight though. The guy on Australia's Got Talent did a more entertaining show overall as well I think.
 
Soooo, this thread has a title like it is news but instead it is whislist thread about most common subject already covered on GTP for a decade?

Dat sppining hamster.

Yeah, I too thought this was perhaps news - regarding a discovery. OP please edit the title. 👍

I don't really follow you guys but I'll change the title anyways.

That critic wasn't aimed at you. All the posts since the first embedded video of a guy doing car sounds (post #79) are merged from another thread that was created few days ago with a title along the lines of 'PD should use this for GT6's sound'.

The title of this thread's fine.
 
Do I make car engine noises? Quite often, even when around the wife and my siblings. And the cat.
I think i sometimes get the sounds reasonably accurate of Mitsubishi EVOs, high power 6cyl Skylines and Supras, sometimes Hondas and i think trucks too. Other sounds are generally a mish mash which i like the sound of.
I also frequently make backfire and exhaust crackle (?) sounds. Obsessed with high HP cars too, so make rev limiter hitting sounds and, lag-lag-lag BOOOOOOOOSSSSSTTTT!!!! sounds.

Do I drift shopping carts, while making engine and tire noises? Definately! As well as quick bursts of acceleration and two wheels around corners (even with a half full trolley).

Do I make car engine noises when playing with a Hot Wheel or Matchbox cars? Have done this since i was a kid in the early 90s/late 80s and although all 150+ of my 1:64 scale cars are in boxes now i'd probably still do so.
I'd love to take them outside again and play with them in the dirt like i used to, but unfortunately plastic and paint wear away after extended use. :(

Do I make car or motorcycle noises with my electric guitar? Don't have one. Nor a keyboard.

How old am I!? 30 years old

Anybody here have a problem with that? I expect so, but how is what they think of it going to make me change - i'm not worried about what other people think in the slightest. :cool:

Yes, from idling burbling V8s to blow off valves, while walking in the streets. Screeching tires too.

Oh yeh. Odd stares are a must.

There isn't a single car in my 4,000+ collection that hasn't done a nasty burnout on the table. Yes even the really lame ones like the Dart K wagon.

Probably if I had one and I knew how to extract a single note out of it.

almost 31 ):

If you don't do any of the above you're freaking weird.
 
Damn straight, Cano! : cheers:

Especially the shopping cart bit. Did it just yesterday with the kids hanging into the sides.

The wife was not impressed. : lol:
 
Turning shopping trollies with the rear sliding free puts less stress on your wrists. The bad design about trollies is that the pivoting point is on the back wheels, which is where the handle bar sits above. To make it easier to understand, you'll find that turning becomes more difficult as the load in the basket gets heavier and you have to put more effort into turning and twisting your wrist to make a turn. If the back wheels don't grip the floor, there's no wrist effort involved since all it takes to change the direction of the cart is to simply push it forward.


TL;DR ver.: I drift trollies.
 
If your shopping cart isn't rear wheel drive, you're not a real drifter.
