Can anyone beat that?
Discussion
Owned the Sagaris for just over 18months now, albeit only done just over 3000 miles but apart from when buying to check it works, I've never even turned on the radio/CD player - engine / exhaust note is a far better noise. Even the missus said don't bother taking the radio/CD face when we went to France last year as it won't get used!!!
So how long have you been just listening to the car rather than music?

The radio / cassette unit wasn't working.
I started this game and I'm going to win it (!!) so I've made a up a new rule - broken units don't count becuase you may have wanted to listen to music but couldn't. DSQ'd i'm afraid!!!I bought my car without even checking to see if the stereo worked.
About two and a half years later i was driving along, sun out and the roof off in little traffic and though i'd take the opportunity to try the stereo for the first time. After a few minutes of distracted driving and hitting random buttons i finally decided that it wasn't going to work. Glancing back up i noticed a gap beyond the three cars in front who were dawdling. hit the loud pedeal to overtake all three - got level with the first car and realised they had all slowed down (hence the gap) because of a mobile police van.
I managed to avoid a ticket by performing the most rediculously slow 61mph overtake in a 60 ever witnessed. It seemed to take half a mile to complete the manouvre. I haven't tried the stereo again. I saw that as an omen. TVR's shouldn't have stereos.

Think we have a winner already!!!knight said:
Got my Cerb last year, think I tried the CD player once, then decided not to bother after that 
I'm pretty sure that there is still a CD in it which belongs to the previous owner!!
Well since buying my lotus 3 years ago I think I've used my CD/Radio thingy about 7-8 times!!!! I'm pretty sure that there is still a CD in it which belongs to the previous owner!!SAGTAFF said:

I`ve had my Sagaris 18 months now too So how long have you been just listening to the car rather than music?

Yea, the radio never goes on... infact I think I`ve a poor connection in one speaker but I`m not 100% sure as I checked that 18 months ago
I`ve always through of replacing it with something more useful like analogue oil pressure gauges, etc..

Well i've had my Chim 4 years in a couple of weeks time and can honestly say i've only used the stereo a few times and that was just to try to get traffic updates on the radio but because i only have the standard stereo and speakers fitted it sounds cr*p anyway so never really bother.
The radio has never had any station presets set up so i have to search for a station but have to be sat stationary as i can never work out how to work the stereo out anyway.
On a slight off topic......................in my work van i NEVER drive without music on and only have the window open when its sunny/hot............in the Chim the FIRST thing i do is wind the window down no matter what the weather and never/ very very rarely have the radio on.

I've had my S nearly a year now, when I bought it the previous owner didn't know where he'd put the front of the head unit and was unsure whether or not the speakers worked as he kept breaking them by turning it up load enough to hear it over the engine.
I've not felt the need to fit a new head unit, or ask him whether he found the front of the old one.

I've had my Tuscan since April 2005.
The stereo has only been used twice, and only when parked with the engine off.
I can't even remember which discs are loaded in the changer.
IMHO it exists purely to fill the hole in the dash.
There is only the music...
