Top Gear's best ever driving song

[Jeremy_VTR]

I thought it might be interesting to run a poll in parallel with TG's best ever driving song to see what the C2 club would choose, as a subgroup of the greater TG viewing public.

Here's the TG website poll page. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/driving_song/)

they're classic songs... but i dont see them as good driving songs. Not enough pace in them if that makes sense....

I agree that more imagination could have been shown. I was up the A34 Wilmslow bypass earlier with some trance on and I was flyin'... One of those moments when you're glad to be alive and free (ish) with a good car, an open road and some good music.

But the TG list is a shortlist from the nominations they had. It reflects their typical viewer I suppose (i.e. 35+ with a 70s music bias).

I had eventually got past some old bloke in a Berlingo just before that idyllic moment, and then as I slowed down to the legal limit I saw the blue flashing lights in the mirror! Where did le cochon come from? But luckily he was passing us to somewhere more important (like his tea break) and he wasn't after me.

im sure gerry would disagree and say they have plenty of pace for him
