in the back parcel shelf would be cool but it'd attract to much attention to the car in car parks n stuff... maybe in the glovebox??

then youve seen the new DVD, attack of the Ricemen? Ive had a PS2 in my VL before, in a box on the way home from the games wizards, then i hooked it up to my TV. For discussion purposes I would say it is too big for the glove box, and maybe you could bracket it to the top of gearbox tunnel, with a small screen attached to a bendable metal deal like that bendable thick cable you use with microphones so you can adjust them and it locks in place. The screen would run fron the console behind the handbrake and be able to face either person in the backseat and then swing around for player 2 in the front, but player 2 in the front couldnt play against player 1 in the back unless you had dual screens. The driver would have to be in on the action so I suggest that as he drives, a digital camera feeds him the PS2 action via those sunglasses that arnie wears out of true lies with a small screen in them.

sounds nice, i saw at the bundoora car show tonight, a VT (think if was clubb) with 6 amps mounted in the boot, a head unit, top notch speakers and subs (two 12inch) that has a 240to12v converter in his boot to run it all... sounded better then the cinema's... but the car didn't sound healthy when he drove off..

sounds like the problem with his motor was that he had 6 amps but only 2 subs. Maybe he needs to give me some of his misused money.

Under the glovebox, hard up against the bottom there, would be the ideal place to have it mounted. Although, some installation places say they can't mount it there in certain car's, and sit in on the floor there.

Hard up under the dash as I said in my previous post is the most ideal way as you got access to the PS2 in front of you to change disk's, and the controller's don't have to come out from anywhere, right in front just like at home

i know a guy who has his ps2 mounted where the air con vents are, it looked exactly like that dash in the picture except with the ps2 mounted (monster tacho, shift light and gauges all mounted in the same place.....) i dont no how he got it to fit, but it did........ Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Personally Id rather Air Con than some stupid piece of crap which you cant even use in a car mounted there for gay reasons. What are you gonna do, pull over and have a game of Frontline then good toss off?

Quote: What are you gonna do, pull over and have a game of Frontline then good toss off? he drives up and down the coast for surf trips and does plenty of miles(with plenty of passengers), so its there for passengers so they dont get bored..... fair enough then eh?

or if your out having a slow night maybe or waiting for someone you have something to do, or if you break down, or just for novelty, or maybe just cuz he wants to and it's his choice in his car Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Maybe if you had one in your car, Choice Bro, you might actually like it. I can genuinely comment whether it's **** or not cause I got one in the car, and from where im sitting, I'd rather have it than not have it.
