They're awful, absolutely awful. I tried one when I was over there and almost threw up. I thought it would be something a little more than peanut butter ontop of chocolate, but nope... and I love peanut butter and I love chocolate.

Can get them in Australia if you know where to look.

i actually have access to plenty of audio gear through our family business. lol i doubt a 67 shelby will pass as extra luggage. and god, as for alpine, i hate all those "big brand" stereo systems. hmmm maybe one of those cheerleaders i always see on american movies
