vroom vroom vroom the sounds of a big end

ok so actually this is not a car, in fact not even close, this is just a box that makes the broom, broom sounds a car makes. Weird well actually no, the idea that you can make your Daewoo or Hyundi sound like a Mustang is awesome - but you will need some good speakers (under your car) and you had better make sure there is plenty of bass!

What you probably would not believe is the Vroom box hooks up with the RPM's on your vehicle and measures the power load to make the sounds even more realistic. There are 15 car sounds (including Lamborghini, Pontiac GTO, Stingray and the all poplular Vespa Scooter) and still more you can download.

yours for $159 plus speakers

Monaro the 'muscular' sports car. Described as "an undisputed classic amongst great contemporary road cars" you have to admire the 260kW, 5.7 litre high output V8 engine - ggggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrr!
