That embarrassing moment when.....
...you have your window down in your vehicle in a busy town Center and happily listening to some in my instance Lil Wayne ,then your iPhone is on shuffle then this then blurts out as the next track.
I felt a right ****!
So what else do people have on their Generic mp3 player for their kids.

I'd have cranked that s**t up to drown out the R&B crap blaring out the other nearby cars 
And I have a geniune 600watts of amplifer too (hand certified and tested at over 150watt RMS @0.01%THD into 4 ohms per channel with all channels driven). So its a wee bit loud.

Aa yes, I have fond memories of this occurance. I would be 18 and had 2x13inch Focal subs and a 2Kw Rockford amp in the back of my Cavalier!
Now i`v always been into country music, secretly back then. So cue large crowd gathered around my boot at a "cruise", hit the wrong button on the remote and viola, Garth Brooks loud enough for the whole car park to here....
Wouldn`t give a monkeys now, embarsing as hell back then.

It's my music, I don't inflict it on the public.
I do try and inflict it on Andy when he comes round, however. I am trying to get some culture in his life, and also some fruit.

Ahhhh memories....
Years back - may have been my first car.
I pulled up to a set of lights. Huge junction, you can be waiting ages for the lights to get round to you again. Dual carriageway section with a feeder lane off to the right, lights everywhere.
I pull up next to this huge black guy, real gangsta type, black out beemer, shades, ciggy carefully placed to be hanging out the bottom lip (are these GLUED on?) - the real deal: total stereotype figure.
He has this thumping LOUD... well.... crap blaring out of his system and I'm getting it full blast through our mutually open windows.
Well - I'd had this ridiculously over-powered system fitted recently (okay: it was utter, utter crap - but I thought it was the absolute canine gonads back then) so I decide to blast out some serious thrash metal to drown him out. I'd got some great compilation albums my mate had done for me - a real eclectic mix of loud metal and rock.
So. I crank up the volume to "ear bleeding loud". Flick the CD player on and look across to this guy with a real knowing sneer on my face. He's looking across at me, so he can see what happening.
Only.
Well, my mate who has done the albums has this wicked sense of humour.
He's a complete git.
I'm sat there expecting something death-metal like to come screaming out of the speakers and instead The Smurfs Play Pop fills the area for miles around.
The look of absolute horror on my face was only matched by the shock on his.
Then the pair of us just cracked up laughing at the sheer absurdity of the whole thing; and we were getting beeped at by the cars behind as the lights had turned green while we were still laughing and crying at the music which is STILL being played.
I did get him back later, I'm happy to report.

On a slightly different note
One of my first cars was an old Mark 1 Fiesta XR2, I thought I was the dogs bollox!!
Sat at a set of lights with my mate in the passenger seat, lovely sunny day so the windows were down, 2 young girls walked past and said 'nice car' as they looked.....so what did I decide to do..???
I was still in neutral so started revving the car.......and.......the exhaust fell off
I felt like a right bell-end but even now as I'm typing this I laugh about it thinking back

If your stereo is at normal listening volume, even pretty loud with a window open, passers by wont really hear what it is, unless it is cranked up so far it is rattling windows and obvious you have sent a lot on speakers and amplifiers specifically for the purpose of attracting attention in town centres, music at that kind of volume is uncomfortable and is nothing about music, I have a mate who is a Psychology/Sociology professor and he has some theories about individuals who blast music out, basically it is young males after a mate but with not much chance of getting one as 99.99 percent of the population wants to shout "******" at cars that go past going "thump thump thump", the music is always ****e as well.

When I was about 16 I was walking into town and these two teenage girls were eyeing me up on the other side of the road. So I flash back a smile, but whilst not looking where I was going... Cue me walking rght into one of them metal bollard things that prevent cars from being stolen. And right in the Jacobs!
