Engine noise isn't an issue, its at the back I think.

Wind noise is deafening at 70mph, any tips on how to make it be a little quieter would be appreciated.

It makes the Dalmation charge around the van trying tofind who is whistling, sends the wife mad.

Need a City 6 figure bonus to fuel a T25 at 70mph, slowing down may help or wind the windows down and pretend your at Alton Towers. Doing 70mph on the M6 in a Force 9 will cure your additction for speed!!

I agree about the fuel consumption.
It's hard to slow down though when you drive 50000 miles per year in a "normal" car.
Maybe I should just get earplugs

i know! i eventually found it in the frunt but i must say the space it does not take up in the back will be very handy!

dont do 70mph everywhere, your engine and bank balance will thank you for it later.
