Can you design one that will "silence" low-flying light planes with noisy engines.
Bane of our life in summer, and only about 1 in 10 seems to have a properly-silenced engine comparable to a car of similar-ish power. This really should be mandatory if flying over populated areas below about 5000ft.  Helicopters would be a bonus, though they are only a major PITA on Silverstone weekend when we're on one of the major routes.

Agate Grey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, Tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors. e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course.  (internal dimming mirror added later)1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon. Added Auto-dim mirror, Leather seats, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer. And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!

 It took you seconds to knock me off my perch. Back to the drawing board, Mod #14 - Noisy aircraft targetting.
