Hummer with speakers

Have any other south Bham commuters (or anyone for that matter) come across a Hummer with speakers? Last week on my way home I was aware of something behind me but couldn't identify it immediately. When it cruised gently past I realised it was a massively jacked up Hummer (it gave me plenty of room so no complaints there) but I nearly jumped out of my skin when a voice boomed "Wot you doin on two wheels man?". It clearly came from the Hummer so I tried to keep up - which I did for about 20 seconds - but gave up the chase when he turned off my route at which point I heard him / it laugh! I've seen a lot in my years of commuting but that was a new one on me!!

    I have seen a few Hummers around but never whilst on my bike.
    Always strikes me as a massively stupid choice of car for a built up town area as they are so H-U-G-E.

    I'd suggest the driver is suffereing from SWS........

    I got passed by a jacked up Hummer on the A38 heading towards the university campus, heard no speakers though and thought no more of it. I'll have to try to persuade him/it to speak if I see him/it again.

    Mate of mine had an old Fiat Panda with a mic and speaker fitted....great fun when you are 17.....Don't think it is in the same league as a Hummer though!

    :-) happy memories, back in the days of Pirate CB radio, with a PA speaker attached :-)
