your one fav driving track?

Ok picture the scene, its a dry and sunny Sunday evening and the roads are quiet, you've just finished watching the Grand Prix/Touring cars/Rally and you decide to go for a spin, your right foot is feeling paticularly heavy and you want to pop in a CD and have an awsome soundtrack join on your journey.
Whats the one track you simply have to have blaring out at full volume as you blast off down the road?
For arguments sake you are not allowed allowed to say "the sound of the car" and we must assume that the road is a fantasy road with no roadworks, traffic jams or bloody caravans!
At the moment my fav is a great bit of guitar work called "Bareback" by The Darkness.

sorry but I do like the noise of the engine more and don't tend to have anything playing. I only switch on the radio when doing a long journey

I am slighty worried by your comment -

'At the moment my fav is a great bit of guitar work called "Bareback" by The Darkness'

I assume then that you are typing this post into your phone whilst swerving all over the road

No screen + full-face helmet + noisy engine = no need for stereo!

Sunny day, Hendrix on the iPod, RON95 fumes and some twisties What a feeling (as long as I don't mind feeling spaced for the rest of the day)....

including:
All Along the Waterfront
Crosstown traffic
Voodoo child
Spanish Castle Magic
Hey Baby (New Rising Sun)

Then again, sometimes a little bit of Josh Wink- Higher State of Conciousness works quite well..... Though I tend to over-drive somewhat on the corners when I listen to that one- the aim is usually to hit a nice power slide at the end of the ascending note....

For driving really quickly I need to hear the engine. For anything less so I like Swervedriver - Son of Mustang Ford
