Saltddirk Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Watching a few old Top gear Episodes last night, series 6, where they are on a quest for the greatest driving song ever ever made me think.What is the song you would like to pour out of your car speakers, if you ever had such luxury, at the Start at the Plough on that friday evening, and why not, which one when you finally roll in the Sunday....For me it has to be Steppenwolf, Born to be wild..... Get your motor runnin'Head out on the highwayLooking for adventureIn whatever comes our wayYeah, darlin'Gonna make it happen......Not have given the arrival any thought so far, first things first.Dirk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim S Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I bought cd a few years back titled "Driving Rock Ballads" which had some good tracks on it but also some that just didn't work for me so I started my own compilation of which 'Radar love' and 'Born to be Wild' were the first to come to mind but also included 'Highway Star' and 'Speed King' by Deep Purple. Thanks guys for the other suggestions I'll be adding some of those to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT6boy Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 The Jesus and Mary Chain- Never Understand on departure.Elbow- Grace Under Pressure for returning.It's a toughie for departure as you'd like it to be a wheel-spinning "so long suckers!" departure into the sunset, but it's actually a tickle out of the car park almost in convoy, then waiting at the lights to join the crawl up the the A10, begfore you can get some wind in the hair driving going. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 What about 'Racing in the street' Bruce Springsteen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT6boy Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 That would have to be the return song Alex. What a great song that is: bloomin' fabulous. "For all the shut down strangers and hot rod angelsRumbling through this promised landTonight my baby and me we're gonna ride to the seaAnd wash these sins off our hands" Top drawer Springsteen- a great one for a relaxed drive back down from the M25 to The Plough. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT6boy Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 "Hold on, i'm coming!" (insert mutty comment here...)Yes- that was the Live at San Quentin. He also did Live at Folsom which is another great album. Wasn't I going to put them on a memory stick for you or did I do that? :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT6boy Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Soz! leave it with me flower :BI have been having a spot of botheration with copy CD's at the mo, I think Windows media updates have buggered up the ability to run off copies as they previously allowed. probably anti-piracy issues... :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
