'In the Summertime' - Mungo Jerry?

*shudders, can't listen to that tune without thinking of that anti drink-driving ad when I was little... Shame, it's a damn good tune.

Erm...

'Make Me Smile (come up and see me)' - Steve Harley

'Sun Is Shining' - Bob Marley

I'll be getting ahold of some Benni Benassi tunes for the car this week.

In a serious *bass* mood when the sun comes out ..

Oh the pleasures of roof down driving. Was a nice day this morning.

There is no better summer driving track then a high revving straight six twin turbo though a smooooth mild steal exhaust and having the roof off.........

Looks like I am missing out on another summer of driving fun :(

Anyone want to help me fire bomb some engineering shops???? :ffs:

That said, once it is back I should finally have some decent Speakers in it, I havenlt even though what music to play yet!!!!

[stevetubbyturbo]

the one i like driving to in the summer with the windows down is

Dakota by the Stereophonics

[JAHill]

The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary

Not really a summer tune but it kinda says - "car tune"

Plenty of Red Hot Chili Pepper tracks really have a summery feel to 'em, must be the Californian influence.

I don`t really do driving music. (Radio 2`s good enough for anyone ) But like Karma, the orchestra under the bonnet takes some beating.
