Title: Whats on your 8 track? Post by: Lord Steve on April 26, 2006, 12:25:29 pm I liked this thread last year so I thought I'd start it again.........
What music keeps you singing on the way to LM? Tres Hombres are bin mostly listenin to: Ten Years Gone - Led Zeppelin Let there be rock - AC/DC (Bon Scott era only!) The Rocker - Thin Lizzy Smoke on the water - Deep Purple Enter Sandman - Metallica What's your thing? Title: Re: Whats on your 8 track?

First song on whenever I get off the tunnel or ferry, sets me up for the battle in good humour Title: Re: Whats on your 8 track? Post by: Andy Zarse on April 26, 2006, 12:40:28 pm Let there be rock - AC/DC (Bon Scott era only!) Precisely M'Lord. Brian Johnson is not a patch on the late great Bon Scott who died in true rock n roll tradition by choking on vomit. They never did find out if it was his. Title: Re: Whats on your 8 track? Post by: Bob U on April 26, 2006, 12:57:48 pm The Georgia Saterlites Greatest hits usually comes into the journey at sometime or other with all of us singing a rousing version of Battleship Chains.
I think that Hollywood Nights by Bob Segar is the ultimate driving song, trouble is a couple of years ago I got a fine and a months ban for listening to it on the A45 in Northampton and not looking at the speedo Title: Re: Whats on your 8 track?

Title: Re: Whats on your 8 track? Post by: Perdu on April 26, 2006, 02:02:02 pm I'll prolly stick with Dad Rocks disc one, cant stick the "modern" crap on disc two.
Reminds me though Rusty is gonna make me a primo power disc arent you Rusty? Huh? Please... :) bill Title: Re: Whats on your 8 track?

Brian Johnson is not a patch on the late great Bon Scott who died in true rock n roll tradition by choking on vomit. They never did find out if it was his. Man after my own heart - had the distinction of playing a chord on Angus Young's guitar while he was sat on Bon Scott's shoulders in the crowd at Newcastle Mayfair many moons ago. (I don't think he appreciated it!) Title: Re: Whats on your 8 track?

For now, I have arrived at my place of diligent contemplation and honest travail and shall embark upon the sending of missives. Serf, bring me my carrier pigeons. Forsooth, I say unto thee, henceforth and forthwith - pray tell me oh wise one, what is this device, this witchcraft, that I witness in the ears of those of tender years? Some in my court speak of files known by a strange code "mp3", some talk is heard of a pod that is "i". Sir, I beseech thee, impart thy knowledge and wisdom on these matters.

Making it do it is the problem.Honda don't seem to have any problem with this, even their basic shopping cars can be caned well past 6500. It's just crappy old wheeze-boxes made by the likes of Ford, Leyland, GM; Cosworth BDA, A and B series, X-Flow and Pinto, all rubbish that self-destructs when revved a bit too hard.

I'm just spraying the tank of the bike that fits in the back of the car. :), hope the list above still fits in ;) One day the Duke will return to Le Mans however. Title: Re: Whats on your 8 track?

I had a Radiomobile 8track in my first car, a brown Renault 12. I only had the tapes the car came with and there were only two of them; one by Tony Bennett, the other by Ray Conniff and his Orchestra (Hello Young Lovers). Not really what I was into at the time and even in 1981, 8tracks were vurtually unobtainable. I once managed to buy an Eric Clapton compilation tape at a garage in Walsall. :( Title: Re: Whats on your 8 track?
