BIG MAC Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 To be fair ...I like cucumber....particularly pickled cucumber.[:P]It's funny how a vee engine always sounds better though..then a straight six...inline fours are a bit boring!Then again I would love to hear what the performance diesel Audis sound like.. and so back to cucumbers.....

EmilyA Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Yes I'm with Kathy. Love the sound of children playing, can't stand traffic noise and barking dogs (actually howling dogs as there are five hunting hounds chained up next door but one.)

Cucumbers yes, very apt.. as a f**t in a thunderstorm. One of your kids would drown it out, let alone the whole family.[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
