The songs that continually get me going..........believe it or not..........are by the Beach Boys. Little Duece Coupe comes to mind....which in it's twisted state seems to change the lyrics to "She's my Little MINI Coop-(er)....."

I Get Around seems to have a similar effect.

So if you can narrow it down, list the one song and artist below!

I'll start it off with mine (which happens to be 80's-taculer)

Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone


That's easy! For me it's Steve Winwood's Split Decision

Favorite Motoring Music... All starts off with one song...

"Cars" by Gary Numan
Here in my car
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
It's the only way to live
In cars

Here in my car
I can only receive
I can listen to you
It keeps me stable for days
In cars
A bit of a cliche but a classic song to start my motoring adventures...
