Depends on the song Grin

Have you got your dog on the seat behind, head sticking out the window and ears flapping in the wind too??

Yes. And I even to put the top down Grin

I have whole tapes CDs devoted to 'car songs'.

Up loud, sing along, smile Smile

Depends what the song is. If you drove past me with 'blurred lines' blaring out, I'd be hoiking my judgy pants up.

Not if i am sitting in traffic next to you its not - theres nothing worse (well there is ofc) than sitting next to some muppet that thumping away on their bass inflicting their choice of music on me

Or if you are driving past my house, no, i dont want to hear thanks

Ones my remember on my 25 minute drive home:

Nicole Shitsinger - Stronger
John Legend - All of you
ELO - Mr Blue Sky
Madonna - Vogue
Taylor Swift - Style

(Bloody love Taylor Swift - and I'm the wrong side of 40!)

No dog. No kids. Just me. Lovely Smile

Definitely, nothing better. Alternating between P!nk and Fleetwood Mac at the moment

The best. Unless you've got kids in the back squabbling :o

Walking on sunshine is a great song.

its one of my joys in life

especially driving fast down country lanes and pretending I'm on Top gear (but keeping to all speed restrictions and rules of the road)

I only do it when I am alone in the car and I have a special track list on my ipod expecially for this purpose

If the kids are squabbling I just turn it louder to drown them out!

Mr Blue Sky is the greatest summer song of EVAH!

Or the beach boys :o. I have that cd in my car so every time we head to the beach I can put it on.

Straight after school we are all heading down with the kids and picnics.

I need to do a 'driving cd'. I'm constantly switching channels. Isle of Wight radio and Wave105 usually come up trumps though!

Near the sea here too. Picnic sounds good but have clubs etc.. maybe we should skive off tonight!

My 4 year old DD demands the roof down on my car when it's sunny, and turns the music up! I've no idea where she's picked it up from Confused

It's tempting when it's nice to just drop everything and go to the beach. Roll on the school holidays!

Going Down to Liverpool - The Bangles

Hey Ya! - Outkast
Rehab - Amy Winehouse
Chelsea Dagger - The Fratellis
You Will You Wont - The Zutons
Man I Hate Your Band - Little Man Tate
Horace Wimp - ELO

Oh there are so many.... all with bingly bangly beats that can be heard over the engine and wind noise.

Maybe I will make up a new playlist so I can now type

I have car tape CD Playlists Smile

I'm easily pleased. Any old music will do, just not slow boring ones for driving. Some of the Whitney classics are great. Any 80's stuff. Hairspray soundtrack. Anything :-)

I am with Dragon. I hate witnessing this and would not dream of annoying passers-by and other drivers this way. Behaviour of dickheads IMHO.

I had Bohemian Rhapsody on yesterday. Veeeerrrryyy tempted to do the Wayne's World 'bit'.

It's anti social presumably (unless it's a Bach organ concerto in which case I might allow it).....
