Guest Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 So who's fitted a stereo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phssthpok Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 I’m not one to moan but, why couldn’t Westfield have designed a car with a smidgen of In Car Entertainment? Nothing fancy, a multi-shuffle CD player, quad tape-deck and self-tuning FM radio would do nicely. As it was, the only ICE my car had was in the footwell on a winter's day. Normally I’m well-hard, the sort of guy who shuns rubber gloves when washing the dishes. On short journeys, I’d just let the erotic oscillation of an unfettered engine act as the noisy back-drop to my delinquent day-dreams while I played squash the ‘hog on country lanes. But, on the motorway, I need something a little less visceral to occupy my dementing grey matter. So, at an ex-friend suggestion, I've started using my trusty Walkman as portable ICE. Like most people over fifteen, I find modern music has all the entertainment value of the obsequious drivel printed in Which Kit’s famously unbiased road tests: although how you can call being driven around the block twice a road test is beyond me. So, instead of music tapes, I made my own personal recordings. Call me sad, but I recorded myself reading selected chapters from the august Westfield build manual. Not everyone’s taste, but sure beats the #### out of listening to the Elton Blurry Spice drone on. However, as any paid purveyor of the law will tell you, using head-phones while driving is illegal. Don’t ask me why, I don’t make the traffic laws, I just break ‘em. To overcome this potential threat to my point littered licence, I’ve wired a small pair of high output speakers inside a flying helmet, powered via the car’s battery for extra touch of spunk. The Walkman was then slipped out of sight into my Barber jacket pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 ive got a mono system in mine its on the near side and very loud its called a exhaust and its all i need dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu999 Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 If you need a stereo then you need more power or you chose the wrong road. Move the noise pedal up and down and make your own tunes, add squealing tyres, the soundtrack is awesome, and you never get bored with the tune.

Bananaman Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Mines a sound track comes from a 2.0L 16V, plays only one tune but its a good un Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stueyboy Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 HAve to agree with Bananaman. Stereos are for tin-tops. I drive my westie 30 miles to and from work most days during the dry season and have never once tired of the soundtrack of the loud pedal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
