If M. Schmacher and J. Button can listen to talkback radio while they're driving on the A1(ring), why can't the rest of us?
Anyway, if you want to listen to "Born to be Wild ", just grow long hair so the plods can't see your ear plugs...
... and shouldn't our fave rave be "ess club 7" (the more esses the better!)?

Arent some of you missing the point a tad. headphones are only illegal in both ears. you can still have mono. I like the mounted speakers idea. But
then my locost is goning to be finished when petrol is £90.00 a litre at this rate!

Some MX-5's had speakers in the headrests - wouldn't be hard to add "wings" to your head restraint and fit speakers.
But lets face it, if you want to listen to the wireless you'd hear it better with a cup of tea in the kitchen

I really don't think headphones are illegal here in North America. I'm also quite sure deaf people are allowed to drive. I would even
think that the wind buffeting in the cockpit at highway speeds could cause deafness. Many people wear earplugs when riding motorcycles and open cocpit
cars on the highway for this very reason.
Now to the subject at hand..anyone tried something like this: http://www.autocom.co.uk
would be nice to have some music from a MP3 player, talk with the passenger and talk handsfree on the mobile phone.

In-car entertainment
I have MX5 (Miata) seats with speakers in the headrests in my TVR Tasmin and they are just fine, allowing me to hear the stereo at any speed. -much
better than the factory setup both in sound and comfort. Also, I fround that wearing earplugs for longer trips in my old Westfield Eleven or on my
motorbike made the event much more enjoyable and less tiring. That been said, my hearing in the higher frequencies is almost gone!

I have a cd player in mine, and it is nice to have. When driving around town it is turned off but when I went to Le Mans this year it was
nice to get rid of the constant noise of the exhaust (which went on for 6-7 hours each way) and listen to some of my favourite tunes. I enjoy the
sound of the car but not for hours on end.
I have side screens fitted and can still hear the music at 90mph and talk to the passenger (if I want ) And when the hood goes on it gets rid of
all the little noises you don't want to hear.
I use my car for hours upon end and have never regretted fitting the radio.
Just my opinion
