Best driving songs for an '8?
Ok, I'm standing here cooking me dinner**, and glugging on some Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon whilst listening to Highway Star by Deep Purple, which got me thinking....
What would be your Top 5 (10 if you want to be greedy...  ) driving tracks to listen to in your '8? Here's my starter for 5 to get you going:....
 )(**2: A venison steak sandwich with shallots and a sweet peach mustard, since you asked...  ),

Surely this list should be a Top 8?
I'm going to add: "Evil woman don't you play your games with me" Black Sabbath, for when she's playing up And several from Audioslave "Gasoline" "I Am The Highway" (Tune!) "Getaway Car" and nothing to do with cars, but TUNE! Hysteria - Muse

I'd go with three of that five, not saying which though.....
__________________
2003 D2 FL S8. Irish Green Pearl/Beige. Solar sunroof, auto-dim mirrors, electric rear seat functions, ski hatch retrofit; extended leather. Aftermarket DVB-T, reversing camera and full XCarlink (Bluetooth etc.). 2016 Volvo V40 T5 Cross Country (4WD) with ALL the toys including adaptive cruise etc. etc. Osmium Grey with Blonde/Charcoal leather interior. Polestar performance "optimisation". (A much rarer model than a D2 S8 by the way!) Oh, and a brand new engine at just under 30,000 miles on the factory one!  Finally: gone, but not forgotten..... 1998 D2 PF S8. AgateGrey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors. e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later)1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon, Auto-dim mirror, Leather, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer. And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!
