External speakers are definitely worth it but when I looked into this some years ago, sound bars seemed very poor value for money and I ended up getting some high quality PC speakers instead (Microlab) for about £50 - two main units and a sub-woofer. Connected through headphone socket, works great.

I'm just jealous.
I'd love one of those 70s Yank tanks we see in films and cop shows over here.
Maybe a Lincoln or a Caddy, something with a bonnet, sorry, hood the size of a snooker table.
Trouble is it wouldn't fit on our roads.
Our motorways, sorry, freeways are barely any wider than smalltown Main Street, USA.

When I was younger, I always wanted to car with suitable bonnet-sliding capabilities like in Dukes of Hazzard or Starsky & Hutch.

I Hired a Lincoln 'Town Car' once when collecting customers in Cleveland OH like below:
It was like driving a football field, I did several laps of the Hertz complex before I took it out on the highway to the terminal and collect my guests.
Some days later I was asked to take the boys for a night-out here:
It was the perfect pimp-mobile. Those were different times indeed....

A bit too 80s for me, and I'd prefer something with two doors to enhance the ludicrousness of it.
Something like the tubby 'tec Frank Cannon drove.
The boot was so big, the spare wheel needed a shaped trunk lid to accommodate it.
I don't think packaging was the strongest suit of those cars.
A few pics of the Cannonmobile here:

I don't want anything huge or flashy. The boot - sorry, TRUNK - just needs to have room to easily cram two bodies/suspects into.
This was our frequent topic of conversation when we went to view new cars ! Ask the salesman to open the boot so we could judge how many bodies we could fit in .

my Grandfather came to the US from Italy when he was 12 yrs old. at some point, when my Aunt was in her 20s? she went with them to Italy on a boat, & they brought their giant Lincoln (model unknown) with them on the boat! I guess he wanted to show off, but now I wonder where he was even able to drive it!

Can I just say to get this thread back on track, that the Tea House of the Dancing Lady was a very un-sound bar....
It was also on Tiffin Street which makes it even funnier!

From sound bars to pimp moviles in a mere 5 pages. Only rnhe rich diversity of discussion on Cyclechat can do such a wondrous thing.
