You were talking of Schiller Music by Christopher von Deylen.
Brilliant, even for an oldie like me who mainly listens to classical music.

Freude, schöner Götterfunken,
Tochter aus Elysium!
Wir betreten feuertrunken,
Himmlische, Dein Heiligtum.

Deine Zauber binden wieder,
Was die Mode streng geteilt,
Alle Menschen werden Brüder,
Wo Dein sanfter Flügel weilt.

und so weiter.

They say the top A the sopranos have to hold for several pages was Beethoven's tinnitus note.

Meant to say.  Picked friend up this afternoon, and her daughter was visiting.  Daughter was apparently massively impressed by the GTi, and carried on quite a bit about what a fantastic car it is.

So the fame of our wagons is obviously widespread.

Actually there's some fairly horrible stuff later on in that poem.

Ja, wer auch nur eine Seele
Sein nennt auf dem Erdenrund!
Und wer's nie gekonnt, der stehle
Weinend sich aus diesem Bund!

But if you don't have a friend, then crawl away and cry in a corner, we don't want you.

Nice.

He was not a very nice person in his later years and had some very filthy habits. Poor bugger was deaf with raging tinnitus. But we forgive him for all this.
His music is heavenly.

GolfTi: Have you noticed any change in internal noise levels between the Bridgestone 050As and the Continental 830Ps?
