one of my colleagues has a similar system, but he built his himself

the majority of the computer is in the glovebox with a touchscreen molded into the dash

very different, but not sure i would want one in my car

Not actually that new !!

In car PC`s have been around for over 5 years now, and I recall selling Clarion units that received E-Mails around 10 years ago !!

verging on the edge of stupid, i mean if you get points and a fine for being on the mobile, how much will you get for surfing the net on the M/way (I know its not meant for that, but some clown will try it)

next thing will be a double din microwave

A true CD player is good enough for me, dont even need the inferior mp3.

am I just getting old?  im only 30  :-/

No, the current range of available 12V microwaves are much larger than double din

There is a guy I know who has one fitted in his Landrover, so he can heat up a pasty when he has finished a session of scuba diving.

And most Discos have fridges built in.....

A microwave would be a good addition for those 'I Need a Pie' moments on the M40 ;D

All the more reason to eat them on your commute from your double DIN microwave - away from prying eyes. :y

Ideal if your seat heater has packed up, too.  :y
