For only € 0,81 how about this 'Universal Sound Simulator Car Turbo Sound Whistle' in a range of sizes to suit how much of a complete tw@t you want to appear....
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002 ... -recommend Or how about this 'Mini LED Car Smell Air Freshener Conditioning Alloy Auto Vent Outlet Perfume Clip Fresh Aromatherapy Fragrance Atmosphere Light'.
Wow, for only € 1,77 they sure gave it some diverse and extensive functionality, including it seems, a handy finger chopper-offer feature.

The Chinese
Everyone else.
My Mrs had something similar to the exhaust pipe thing; but decided she wanted kids so had it removed
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

The same person who thought of attaching a piece of card to a bicycle's front fork to make your bike sound a bit like a motorbike?

No they're great! With careful selection of size and positioning you can get it to play Dixie every time you change gear........................allegedly.

I love the turbo whistle, I might try that with a Kazoos and really turn peoples heads, then 3D print a badge that says "Quad Kazoos" and stick it right under the ///M badge.

Continuing on with this thread, my latest bit of cheap useless sh!te from China arrived in the post today.
To keep the sun's damaging UVA from blasting the zed's interior I've been using one of those fold-out pieces of silver papery backed sun visor thingies that is now so old and decrepit everytime I fold it out and secure under the sun visors it crumbles all over the interior and me.
So I needed a better solution to keep the sun off the plastics and leather. Enter the windscreen umbrella! Only the Chinese could/would invent such a thing!
For 15 European Euros it was worth a punt and wouldn't you know it but it's actually not that bad. Inclined to give it a probationary pass for now but let's see how long it lasts or how many open/close cycles I can get out of it before it too disintegrates....
And the best bit; it would double up as a perfect rain umbrella should we ever get square raindrops. Genius!
