Hmmm. I saw a TV ad for '101 greatest driving songs' and was amused to note that I own them all already

Outside of the poodle rock though I've recently been a fan of the Amy MacDonald album, and a bit of Crowded House is always cheery; Dire Straits are essential and some mid-late 90s Ibiza trancy stuff (think 'Silence', 'Sandstorm', Binary Finary) for getting the hammer down

[The Leaper]

Whatever you have with you, you gotta start with Golden Earing and Radar Love !!

I may have mentioned this before...but for the real geeks out there the sound of the cars at the start is an essential download from Radio Le Mans.

http://audio.mpix.org.uk/lemans2007/2007_lem_fx.mp3 (from the archive on www.radiolemans.com)

Car noise starts about 3 minutes in

Anyone with a monster sound system want to play this as we start our engines on 7am Dover-Boulogne ferry?

i'm going to be a geek and listen to the complete radio series of 'The Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy' and arrive laughing.
or just bring tons of U2, manics, the cure.

Probaly alot of dance music, now that my dad knows i am into it.
For some reason my long hair and beard made him think i was into marrilyn manson
But heck we have a cd case for lemans so will probably just listen to a mix of those cd's over 100 in totall, including the good old E.L.O and of course Queen, Led Zepplin and pink floyd.
Gotta have some good music for the drive down and back.
Although straight through exhausts and a v6 usually make for and interesting soundtrack.
Thanks,
Andrew

Have to admit that I brought that today. Only had 10 of the tunes on there so thought it was worth it. So cracking tunes on there, so I better start importing all five CD's onto iTunes.

Think I started a similar thread to this last year, might see if I can find as there were some good suggestions on there.

Your poor father, don’t you dare go playing that rubbish, Zep it must be!

[Greensleeves]

Greensleeves!

Ice cream van style!

[R TOY]

Usually load a CD in Mp3 format so that one disc lasts all the way down, this will include
AC DC Highway to hell
Stereophonics Local boy in a photograph
Feeder Buck Rodgers
Placebo Every you every me
Guns'n'Roses Welcome to the jungle
Iron Maiden Can i play with madness
Foo Fighters Learn to fly
Killers When you where young
muse Nights of cydonia
Idlewild World in your arms
the Calling Where ever you may go
U2+MJB One
Automatic Monster
linken Park In the end

Doesnt really matter after that lot , will have lost my licence by then anyway
Maybe i could blame the subliminal messages that we all know rock music contains....

You're just waiting to for someone to ask why, aren't you?

Do you have them on the yellow car too?

[Vette_1978]

Cannonball Run OST - starts off every trip to Le Mans
AC/DC Live - everybody needs to hear Highway To Hell on the drive once at least.
ZZ Top - just for the novelty value
Motley Crue - some classic rock on there
Top Gun OST - the need for speed of course

[Captain America]

AC/DC - Highway to Hell, original Bon Scott and Johnson Live, just for the contrast

KISS - Detroit Rock City

Deep Purple - Highway Star

Motorhead - Bomber/A.O.S/Overkill

ZZ Top - Gimmee all your Lovin'

I think you get the picture.

Note to self ......Must update my music collection to move out of the 1970's

[Karussell]
