Do you listen to music when 'making progress'
Discussion
Sometimes, however I do love to have the windows down and sunroof open on sunny drives as it gives the drive that extra little something. The noise of the engine bouncing off stone walls and the noise of whizzing past hedges is great IMO.
If you are talking about long drives like motorways then always.

Country road I have the radio off. When making progress in most other situations I have some agressive music turned up 
infact half of the time the music causes the progress making.
Since running a diesel rep mobile I've noticed the engine note isn't very helpful anyhow
1500rpm and 4500 sound quite similar

Sounds like you need a convertible. If you are talking about long drives like motorways then always.
king Archers are on.I never listen to music when I'm driving, I could quite happily do without my stereo tbh. One of my friend's who has an Impreza fitted a good stereo to it to work stream music off his phone, then fitted a Blitz Nur Spec R, which is so loud you can't hear the stereo anyway. If you turn it right up until it hurts your ears, the hum of the exhaust is every present.
I'd rather it was that way tbh. I can see the appeal of a good stereo in a motorway slogger, but in a fun car, it's all about the exhaust and the induction for me.

Depends what I'm driving.
If it's a company car, I stick on Radio 4, simply because I'll probably be covering x-hundred miles of potential boredom and for the most part it's intellectually stimulating (with the exception of the Archers - Why do they always sandwich it between really interesting programmes? In the afternoon it's always between some radio play or book reading and some hard-hitting investigative programme or science documentary, and in the evening it's between the comedy and Front Row. It'd be like BBC1 sticking an episode of Peak Practice in between Have I Got News For You and The Review Show).
If it's a sports car, especially a convertible one, I'll let the engine provide the music. This is one of the reasons why I really don't like big, blousy convertibles like the Merc SL - they completely miss the point of roofless motoring. It's like fitting a motorbike with doors.
If I'm making a long journey in my own car, then it's my music player on 'shuffle'.
