Default Top Gear 'best driving song' ?

...ill start...

I think that a song that as soon as I hear it, I turn the volume up, sturr the gear box and floor it is

Timo Mass - To Get Down

Im am sure that this 'thing' that TG want us drivers to do is going to be difficult to decide a winner as we all have our own favorites etc

FWIW, Richard Hammond is on Radio 1 in around 15 minutes.

ChrisB, the whole album makes a long journey a lot quicker. Not sure whether you'd be keeping to the speed limit all the time though

'I Want You' by Inspiral Carpets

Its the one used on the Sony car hi-fi ad where the guy is flying a few feet off the ground over a desert landscape. It's probably too dangerous to play in a fast car!!!

Just watched (my recorded) Top Gear last night - typical Clarkson, he has to go and nominate "Radar Love" as well!!!

Great to see the series back, great entertainment The Cool Wall restored my faith in Top Gear's tastes as those Chrysler 300C's are truly ugly, impractical beasts (see too many of them around here). Pity they didn't use the tank to blow one up!
