'Hallogallo' by Neu! is to my mind a perfect 'driving' song*.
As I am unable to drive this may of course be nonsense.

'On the Road Again' by Canned Heat and 'La Grange' by ZZ Top also have that motoring vibe.

*Indeed the Krautrock style pioneered a so-called 'motorik' rhythm.

Did you never learn to drive?
Or, as I think we all suspect, did you pass your test only to have the licence taken off you about three weeks later as a result of loudly calling every single other motorist you passed during that time a "fucking cunt"?

My parents offered us driving lessons for our 17th birthdays.
I wanted something else. 20 years later (15 of which have been spent living in central London) here I am. On public transport and occasionally in cabs.

I was about to quote from a film then, and very fucking appropriate it was too
then I realised that you either won't have seen the film or will think it's fucking shit. However, I sympathise; I don't own a car because one of the advantages of living in a city the size of Norwich is that I can walk absolutely anywhere I need to get to.

This is the thing.
One of my exes had a car when we lived in Islington, and it was a constant nightmare of permits, parking spaces and vandalism: public transport runs all night, and coupled with judicious use of taxis this worked out cheaper and less stressful. In Winchester we lived in the town centre too. Having nearly died in one when I was about 18, I fucking hate cars anyway.

Completely sympathise
London has the most efficient public transport system I've ever used (although one man with a spare seat on his bike would be more useful to the people of Norwich than the fucking bus "service" that operates here). The cost of running a car would exceed what I spend on train tickets during the course of the year.

You could hand a CD to the driver on the MegaBus, and ask him to play it for all the passengers' benefit.

I don't think Monty knows what a MegaBus is.

( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Fri 18 Feb 2011, 9:02, Reply)

You are correct.
Some sort of extremely large bus?
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 18 Feb 2011, 9:03, Reply)

Yup, with a large picture of this fellow on the back

I always think he looks like a child killer.

Imagine him getting on
"Excuse me, porter, could you direct me to First Class?"

Yes, lovely image.

Edit: Wait, wasn't it that comedy disaster movie about a nuclear-powered bus?

THE BIG BUS
Love that film. People think it copied Airplane but it came first.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Fri 18 Feb 2011, 9:09, Reply)

Established there was a market, as it were
I am also a fan, it hit every disaster movie cliché so well.
