That sort of makes more sense. I'm really looking forward to getting my new
car with the factory fitted Harmon Kardon speaker system. I've heard one,
and while it doesn't come int  the nutter range for 650 quid it is pretty
good value. It does have a facility which increases volume with road noise
-
really useful in a convertible. I just wish the head units they factory fit
int  BMWs were capable of controlling mp3 jukeboxes:(

Tim.
