    a being placed together or the ?interference? from a radio. I honestly can?t really explain what it sounds like any better than that.

    a teflon shovel. It felt solid when I expected bits to fly off it as I drove down the road. There was no road noise! How did they do that? Also liked the idea of the fixed hub in the steering wheeel with radio and cruise controls. Excellent kit for the money, and the final nail in the coffin (for my
  • Suzuki Grand Vitara Advertising 19 Oct 2005 (Forum)
    and side impact protection beams" - hardly groundbreaking innovation! Side impact beams? "we have also added and integrated audio system" - so its got a radio? It looks a totally, bland, non-descript car and the advertising blurb seems to back that up! Oh, and another question, what exactly

  • Time for a new battery? 16 Mar 2005 (Forum)
    to jump start. Q2. Can anyone recommend a source of inexpensive but reliable batteries, I don't want to pay Honda prices. Q3.

  • Pointless Features 30 Aug 2004 (Forum)
    by the toy's presence but less desirable in that it may be less reliable and more expensive to repair. Long ago when cars were basic, the addition of (say) a radio must have seemed unequivocally good in that the benefit was large, the risk small, and if it broke then you were no worse off. Now, the marginal
