RUS will not see which way HAM went. I’m not the biggest LH fan but for me GR is much better than midfield HUK he is a WEB/COU level and I think we will see that this year
Best podcast I listen to every week. Can't be easy finding time for you all to get together but please keep it going.
Music, massively important. I tend to listen to podcasts lately as music tends to influence my driving pace, often times not in ways the local constabulary would appreciate. Some fantastic go to tracks for me:
Awaken – Dario Marianelli
Ali in the Jungle (Orchestral Mix) – The Hours
The Impossible Main Title – Fernando Velazquez
Devotion – Black Tie Dynasty
For Sure – Future Islands
William Orbit – Water From A Vine Leaf. This is an amazing tune and has everything to test a sound system. My two car garage is a Land Rover Discovery 4 HSE and a Porsche 991 GTS. Perfecto.
Enjoyed the podcast, let me just throw in The Beach – New Order for my music
1984 I drove my 77 Granada mk1 3.0gl auto back from the Lake District to leicester on the old A6 as m6 was heaving. I played the bad out of hell full album on my clarion cassette player with 8 band graphic equalizer over and over. I had lost my voice by the time I got home.
What’s the last song Manish mentions? The audio is not clear.
EV into a classic is just ripping the heart out of it. The nurturing, noises and nuances are what make a classic car what it is.
Driving in the night listening to Kraftwerk’s Autobahn. Nerdy I know but I promise you it just works!
Queens of the stone age, song(s) for the deaf, full album GO
What is the final song that Manish said?
This is my absolute favourite thing online right now. Perfect for kicking back on a Friday night. Don't change a thing, just keep them coming!
You're all spending your fantasy Mancs' money the wrong way round though. He's nearly got his racing licence. Surely he'd want a BAC mono for around a hundred k and an M5 with a tow bar! 😁
Manish uncontrollably laughing at some of the comments is gold…. for car geeks, this is brilliant. I so look forward to the next episodes, their my new weekly thing
I think that Luis with out having Nicky Lowder in his ears 👂 is to his dempument. And one 🚗 to Electricafy would be XJS Jag with Tesla PLAD. an extremely good comfortable car for traveling, ironically they had awfull ,JAL-Electric systems.on a boring 😴 driver when everyone was feeling drowsy I selected Due Huss by Ramstine turned up to 10 on the Bang Olsen in the RS7.》》》🥺🥺🥺
Love this podcast. Track – Unkle – Trouble in Paradise (variation on a theme). A modern day masterpiece
Panama – Van Halen
Kickstart My Heart – Motley Crue
Hazy Shade of Winter – The Bangles
Where's the wheel of the week?!
Pure magic …just need to know where and when the tour starts 🎉…
And as for music in cars it’s true it’s all about the memory …amazing …but one day someone blew the arse out of my Becker cd player in my F355 …and I just had the most glorious day with just that engine ..and all the squeaks and rattles 😊
This is the best thing on Youtube. As a man of a certain age (as you all are) it's hugely entertaining. Sometime you realise you have waisted an hour of your life listening to something, but definitely not in this case. Brilliant stuff! Oh, and if you are in the right mood listen to The fat of the land by The Prodigy. RIP KF
Ray Parker Jr.' The other Woman and The Gap Band's You Dropped a Bomb on Me are some awesome tunes for a smooth, spirited drive on a Sunday morning.
You've Got Another Thing Coming by Judas Priest and The Spirit of Radio by Rush are awesome as well.
I have a Trabant and the engine is the best bit😂
Jessica by The Allman Brothers, and also Kitty's Back by Bruce Springsteen.
I'd love to make my 1972 VW Westfalia an EV. 150 hp and 150 miles of range would do it. It's a local daily driver for lunch trips or late morning coffee with the wife and our two Boxers.
The music recommendations segment was bloody fantastic. Can’t believe we get to hang with these characters once a week. Feels too good to be true, going to enjoy it to the fullest while it lasts. Many thanks Gents.
Driving the 991 through through the Mont Blanc Tunnel on the way to Italy, With or Without You on the stereo. Atmospheric car music moment.
The comment about music having the potential to elevate an experience is absolutely true. 2019, driving through the Gorges du Tarn in France, with the guitar solo of 'Brothers in Arms' by Dire Straits playing in my S2000 is a memory that will stay with me forever.
Top top podcast with fantastic chat loved todays episode that we listened to on route to collect a new to us 981 GT4, really helped on the journey up from Cornwall to Windsor.
First up on the playlist on the new stereo and amazing driving tracks that get us going every time
Hot House Flowers- I can see clearly now & Bob Seger – Hollywood Nights.
Looking forward to loading all your suggestions onto the Spotify playlist 👏🏁
If you are lucky, you will drive a car where you would never play music as it would interfere with the engine sound. Music is glorious, but not in a car with a good engine. Playing music in an F12, for example, should warrant confiscation. Or an 812, although its engine is slightly more muffled.
Driving tunes:
Your Love – Frankie Knuckles
Estrelar – Marcos Valle (video is cruising the beach in Rio in a convertible…)
Sapore di Sale – Gino Paoli (for the feeling of summer love at the beach)
@Collecting Cars , you might need to setup a spotify play list….
When much younger, i used to travel @ night and I remember listening Chemical Brother at 3.00AM doing the “kph speed limit” but in mph 😏 crossing Le Havre Bridge (pont de Normandy) in the old elise, i used to love this part of the journey….
Later, while being a the back of the grid in combe, i used to listen Moog (chasing midnight, giving up on time, etc.) waiting for the green light and then trying the keep up with more faster cars (with out stereo i must had) and more experience drivers.
Greyhound from swedish house mafia is dangerous for driving licence… great on a bicycle though
From what I have read, the French have a sound idea in that EV conversions there are not allowed to make more power than the original car that is being converted.
Chri Harris for the win 🏆
Let me set the stage- Driving from LA to Las Vegas. The sun is setting over the desert, you are top down in a Jaguar F-Type R. About 60 miles outside vegas you put on the album Songs for the Deaf by Queens of the Stone Age. Listen to it cover to cover as the lights of Las Vegas glow on the horizon. Best collection of driving songs ever recorded. Have your lawyer on speed dial for when Song for the Dead and God Is On The Radio play.
