Mr T to supply voice for SatNav systems...

Take a listen to the clip... it actually sounds like it'd be quite fun ;)

Hmmm, I'm thinking that we could soup the system up a bit with a camera and a fuel gauge and create the Irish version.

DRINK! GIRLS! FECK! ARSE!

Yeah, saw that a while ago. That'll be a novelty but I think after a while it'd get pretty old, no?

True, the novelty will have thoroughly worn off by the 17th repetition of "I pity the foo, who drives a Volvo"  :nervous:

I think there is the standard 'computer' voice available as well, they are a novelty add on. In a way, it's a clever business move, probably about a 1/2 meg of low res sound samples can add $250+ dollars to the price of the system. :) And it would certainly cheer you up of a morning to get in your car and hear Burt Reynolds suggesting you eat your Satnav ;)

"You're going the wrong way, foo!"

But will it offer handy tips on turning your car into a tank o' doom with just an elastic band, 3 cereal boxes, a toilet roll holder and some tippex?
