So sometimes it's got to be loud, sometimes it's smooth, maybe it's even a power ballard!

What's everybody listening to ? I know if if i play anything that pumps me up i start to drive like a bloody idiot and start taking off tread for no good reason (Blackpool should provide warning stickers on the ICE that advises aginst certain Artists!!) ...maybe not ok!

Maybe there should be a TVR compelation - 'Now THAT's What I call TVR' NO. SIX, SPEED SIX etc etc

so what is it? ... Kula Shaka? Jimmy Hendrix Voodoo Child?.........

Yes! Rammstein is definitely TVR-type music. The only problem is you just can't help going faster when you listen to it.

'Debaser' by the Pixies works well, as does 'Song Two' by Blur...but I just keep coming back to heavy dub reggae or dub inspired stuff by the Clash or Leftfield. And nothing beats 'Skylarking' by Horace Andy when topless in sunshine.

For TVRs I think it's more of a case of "this one goes to eleven!"

Music? The day I bought my Chim 450, I loaded up the CD player with my 6 favorite CDs. After 8 months, I think I may have listened to the stereo for a total of about 5 minutes.

The tunes coming out of the two pipes at the rear of the car sounds much better. :

For some reason I seem to equate TVR with:

Wagner
Mozart
Ministry


Cant for the life of me work out why...

I'm astonished that you could hear anything by Wolfgang Amadeus above that lovely exhaust sound! Me, I go for the Boss and 'Born in the USA'. Some previous owner put 8 speakers in my Griff, so hearing the music is not such a problem.

I find 'The Hives' produce enough adrenelin to fly off the road, or lose my licence. Very dangerous.

Yes it means loads to me but its not music I would associate with a TVR. To listen to in the TVR yes, but TVR says Rock or Power to me for some reason.

Although something like Marlena Shaws Carlifornia Soul blasted out of the Chim roof down in the sun does kinda make me smile...
