Le Mans sound track

[m3ed]

Any thoughts on tunes for the drive down?

[DucatiGary]

strangly enough im sorting out my ipod right now.

one list for the journey to lemans from the tunnel, one list for the journey to reims after lemans, one to the journey to the ring after riems, one for the ring, and then arranging favourites for the way back

[tvrforever]

exactly the same thoughts here...

Of course there will be the natural v8 sounds from the back - but replying in the navigator to sort out the tunes

Have just spent an hour going through the 6500 tracks on the laptop for thoughts...

Current possibles :-
House of the rising sun - Animals
It's great when you're straight - Black Grape
Blues Brothers soundtrack
Chris Rea - Road to hell & La Passione
Dan Reed Network
The Flaming Lips
Lemon Jelly
Madness
Pink Floyd
Chili Peppers
Scissor Sisters
The Joker - Steve Miller band
K by Kula Shaker
Assorted cartoon themes (Wacky Races etc)

Will be listening to the roar of over 560bhp all the way there and back.We always take a nice selection of CD,s but 136db,s of exhaust noise kinda washes out the stereo!
The highlight of "sound" is the long tunnel near Rouen where the skill in finding the sweet spot around 5600rpm and holding it all the way though then lifting off at the exit,this usual produces a rather loud bang and the odd ball of flame (that,s my fave track on the way down) Always makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck

Pete, hopefully installing the car stereo this week, including a ipod interface. When that's sorted I'll do the playlists. If we are catching up before we head off, I've got stacks of stuff for you on my laptop (if you've got your ipod working in your new toy) otherwise I could pop some of it on to CD's for you

Scare them? I wouldn't be surprised if you gave them heart attacks! Are you camping on the Houx Annexe? Wouldn't mind having a gander at that if you are.
