17 turns to parallel park in an MG... it MUST sound nice :-) I rarely
have to do anything but drive straight in!
As for "nice throaty sounds", come on, let's all be honest. Who hasn't
got their favourite underpass, tunnel or canyon that they look forward
to driving through. You know, the one that you take the 'long way'
through to your destination just to hear the sound of your little car?
I think I have at least one of each of the above and each can be
experienced a variety of ways ("gunning" it, revving down through the
gears, cruising at that 'optimum' burble rev, etc.) <sigh>...
