Just a stray thought . . . I get those once in a while:
I was just over on Mini2 browsing the ICE posts. All those people installing their Alpines/Kenwoods/Sonys/Whatevers. You know, the garish, multi-color, blinky/tacky things. Or the raves for the Music Keg's. If they only knew what they were missing in not having an Empeg.....

It really is kinda sad.

The Empeg isn't the newest toy on the block, but I'm still impressed by it's sheer elegance. Both visually and technically.
And I appreciate the Empeg even more every time I drive my MINI and am forced to use that crappy CD player. I feel so limited using a CD player. Gotta get the Empeg installed.
