Took 'em ages to get it right for the little 'un. Whole seat unbolts, slides forwards, then bolts back into place. Even then he'd have been buggered if he hadn't had the kid's seat in the back of the Scenic to use as a booster

If by stereo you mean induction BARK in one lug and the roar of the wind / road / whatever in the other, then yes.
The induction noise is, without exaggeration, painful. Group buy on earplugs required.

Disclaimer. Hit anything and you're dead. Simple as.
Passed an X5 coming towards us, and if you were to hit something like that it would just drive over the chassis until it hit something solid enough to stop it, namely the roll-over hoop. The downside being that there's your head just in front of that.

or you'll just have to wind in your neck at the opportune moment

Yup. The disadvantage being that he couldn't see over the side bars.
Chappie from Ariel was explaining that one of the main improvements between the Ariel 1 and the Ariel 2 was that the seats in the 2 are 2" lower, and one glance at Dazza revealed a face that was saying "WTF use is that to me?"
