To think Chris Rea’s family should drive to him one Christmas?

Poor guy. Every. Bloody. Year.

Wouldn’t it be nice, just for once, if they drove over to him so that he could have the day off from being stuck in the annual traffic jam on the Road to Hell?

Top to toe in tailbacks when he could be at home, sleeves rolled up, stuffing the Turkey with a nice glass of Rioja on the sideboard with his name on.

C’mon guys. Do the right thing. Drive over to Chez Chris this year.

It’s a weird song for me as it reminds of being at Uni and wanting to stay there rather than going home - because I wanted to be with my then boyfriend 😂

For 200k a year I would do the drive.....

Hasn't Chris Rea got a Ferrari? (possibly more than one)

In which case he's probably impossible to keep out of it and the record company had to insist "Driving Home For Christmas (In My Ferrari)" did not strike the right note.

Checked, he certainly had a couple in the past . "Driving Home For Christmas (In One Of My Ferraris)" would have been even worse. Grin

Have you heard his lovely song "Girl In A SportsCar" ?

There's a red car in the video , maybe a Ferrari

In fact, as he's from Cornwall, I'm not sure how he got out... they must have trebucheted him over the Tamar...

I thought he was from Middlesbrough.
