Or, take it off for good, listen to the sound that the car makes and when sat in traffic put a nice cd on. This is what I do, personally I can't stand all of the gibberish on the radio anyway. :thumbsup:
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
