Thought about looking in last week but the ads and trailers before the show were so spotty (signal poor) I didn't bother. I will tonight for the repeat to see the Range Rover bit.
Remember having an argument with my uncle about the merits of enjoying music on a really good hi-fi ( my angle) vs a rubbish tranny in the kitchen (his option). He said if you really liked the music reproduction quality was not an issue.
Will 5th gear be that good?

David,
I agree with you. My wife has got a weed on the moment as I was playing some rock music on a reasonable sytem. She complained it was too loud.
For me, if you don't hear it at "live" level, then you don't hear it as intended.

Yes I understand there is a certain volume level required for the human ear to hear a balanced sound, possible a bit louder than you would normally wish to talk over.
Under that the frequencies go to cock, hence the loudness button (that we haven't got) to balance them for listening at lower levels.
Perhaps I will need such a button for 5th gear.

I too have suffered a similar incident from my own lady who doesn't understand that the point of having a nice hi-fi is to be able to recreate a concert for you in your lounge. Volume, beer an' all!
After a significant disagreement, however, my Macc Lads CD is now confined to the car to prevent it from being ironed...
:o)

Dan,
How embarassed am I? Last Friday, ( before my wife stopped talking to me) I was bopping around the living room to Shania Twaine's "Man, I feel, like a woman" know the one, they always play it at dinner dances?
What I did not know is that my wife was watching me from 40 feet away through the kitchen window, trying to attract my attention. No chance.
Of course, we had visitors on Friday night and she took great joy in telling the assembled throng of my daft antics.

Alwyn,
>Shania Twain's "Man, I feel, like a woman" know the one, they always play it at dinner dances?
You don't have to wait for a dinner party here for an excuse to play that. If you did you'd be too old to dance.

Hey Alwyn, it could've been worse, much worse in fact. Had a video camera have been handy it'd be a moment you'd have to painfully relive many more times.
I too have had a Shania Twain incident and am no longer allowed to borrow that CD from my dearly beloved anymore.
Better not say any more in case I incriminate myself further. All I will say is you want to hear her when she's singing along with headphones on - certainly not one to be talking about *my* antics. Only problem is I haven't got the balls to tell her...

TAPE her when she does it, for later blackmail purposes - or even better, phone her friends, and leave the phone off the hook...

You've done this before haven't you Ian!

Ok Dan J, I'll let you queue up for 30 minutes to get a luke-warm pie from your own kitchen, and then have a P*** behind the couch. "Go on, nobody's looking..."

Dave,
Were you not concerned at the huge numbers Q was quoting? "This car has just had £50 Grand spent on it. Yours for £16K"
Sound like good value? Crumbs, I hope it don't need that ever again.
