Hi,

I'm getting a strange sound on my S10, consistently between 125 - 132KM/h, in 6th.  It sounds a little like water in a washing machine  :) Kind of like wooowooowooo or throb (sorry, hard to describe in words!)  I'm running Anakee 2's and can't remember whether I had it on the original tyres or not.  There is certainly some tyre noise, evident when pulling in the clutch at that speed, however the wooowooowooo / throb goes away.  Wheel bearings and that type of thing all seem fine.  Engine is running smoothly.

Wondering whether anyone else has experienced this perhaps?  Most people tell me not to worry, but off to CTN in 2 weeks and would prefer not to get stuck out in the middle of nowhere...

(She has 11k on the clock btw)

Thanks,
WB
