Has anyone else suffered the unecessary anxiety this sort of event creates??
So there we were, enjoying a spirited drive through the Welsh countryside, the sun was shining, the road was good (and quiet) and all seemed well with the world (for a change).
After a beautiful run across open moorland and through a set of twisties, we descended a short hill, braking heavily before a sweeping 180 degree hairpin. After which, I began to accelerate towards the next corner, only to find there was a horrible buzzing noise every time I put my toe down.
Suddenly the mood changed. Oh god what's wrong?? What have I broken?? :dontknow:
A) Any warning lights - imminent danger? No. Sigh. Continue.
B) Where's the noise coming from? Sounds like it's underneath but slightly behind you. Engine? PDK? Transmission? ££££'s, claims, aggro!!!
C) Isolate possible source: Is it rev or speed dependent? Could be revs - seems to occur around 3,000 revs.
D) Is it gear dependent? Try another gear. No, happens in second too.
E) Stop and try first. Yep, happens in first too.
F) Wait, what was that slight bump when I accelerated in first?
G) Oh you %&$@*^$ idiot, your bottle of Evian has rolled off the back seat and lodged under your seat, vibrating at around 3,000 revs to cause the noise.
H) Remove bottle. Repeat testing. No problem.
I) Panic over. Heart rate now seems OK but detour to local hospital for precautionary ECG
Is it just me?
