Throaty engine

[Olympic]

I've always wanted to know this in 2003 a neighbour bought a White Maestro he sold it last year it was reliable but it always had a throaty engine really he never used it much and over the years he had it the exhaust made like a pop pop pop noise is it both a shot engine and a throaty engine?

Probably bad timing and/or a holey exhaust.

Why?

Really he never looked after it he revved the B******* off it,it stuggled getting up the drive way,he crashed it,never cleaned there were moss on the tyres,it conked out when he was driving along in it but that was him,he use to speed down the street in it at high reves and he well is 83 years of age he has had two Maestro's plus the White one and a marrony one.:)

It was the way he was driving it.
And he was a driving instructor.
