Chris Rea Daytona in my Daytona on cassette. No radio in my F40 or my 288 GTO. Other cars big sound important to me but listen to what I like - right now the new Gnarls song "Run"
You don't know what you're missing! The following playlists on my Ipod, discreetely connected to a period Becker Mexico (reinforced by a hidden modern amp) on my 330GTC, can provide remarkable enjoyment: Classic trumpet concertos: Hummel, Haydn, and Vivaldi. Imagine what it feels like when the "allegro con forza" trumpet bits hit you when exit the curves. Verdi, Puccini, Wagner: Already mentioned. Try the ride of the Valkyries while climbing that mountain road, or "Nessun Dorma" early in the morning. Big symphonies: Beethoven of course, Tchaikovsky, Brahms are all good ones. And don't forget that one of the greatest compliments to Ferrari (IMHO) was paid by the Maestro Herbert von Karajan, a keen Ferrari enthusiast, who once said "The sound of a Ferrari engine is perfectly symphonic". Of course, he was probably thinking of a carbed twelve cylinder engine.... (sorry, my bias!). Cheers, Julio
Highway Star by Deep Purple. Press play: http://www.imeem.com/people/O-3W7W//music/qC9at0t-/deep_purple_highway_star/ "Nobody gonna take my car Im gonna race it to the ground Nobody gonna beat my car Its gonna break the speed of sound Oooh its a killing machine Its got everything Like a driving power big fat tyres And everything I love it and I need it I bleed it yeah its a wild hurricane Alright hold tight Im a highway star..." Then "Radar Love" & "Driver's Seat".
Mississippi Queen by Mountain The greatest two and a half minutes ever recorded... Mississippi Queen, If you know what I mean Mississippi Queen, She taught me everything Way down around Vicksburg, Around Louisiana way Lived a cajun lady, Aboard the Mississippi Queen You know she was a dancer She moved better on wine While the rest of them dudes were'a gettin' their kicks, Buddy, beg your pardon, I was getting mine! Mississippi Queen, If you know what I mean Mississippi Queen, She taught me everything This lady she asked me, If I would be her man You know that I told her, I'd do what I can To keep her looking pretty Buy her dresses that shine While the rest of them dudes were making their bread Buddy, beg your pardon, I was losing mine! You know she was a dancer She moved better on wine While the rest of them dudes were'a gettin' their kicks, Brotha, beg your pardon, I was getting mine! Whoah, Mississippi Queen!
That song is gravity on my right foot and makes me shift faster. Walk or CFH via Pantera will probably get me the most tickets though!!!
Best Ferrari Song Ever! THOMAS DOLBY - KEY TO HER FERRARI (Aliens Ate My Buick) There was one room in her house that was always kept locked... It was the garage! I don't want your love I don't want your money I just want the key to your Ferrari Don't want your bed I don't want your body I want the key to your Ferrari I'm gonna rip it - shine it - rev it - scoot it - skid it - jam it - rev it - skip it - gun it Up and down the 101 Don't want your love Don't want your money, girl I said all I want is the key to your Ferrari And then I saw her... she was a bright red '64 GTO with fins and gills like some giant piranha fish, some obscene phallic symbol on wheels... little rivers of anticipation ran down my inseam as I kicked those five hundred italian horses into life and left reality behind me: fifty, sixty, seventy miles an hour... my hand slipped inside the belt of my trousers as we passed eighty, ninety miles an hour... my hand slipped inside the belt of my trousers and as we hit the magic 100 my love exploded all over her bright pink leather interior... and at that moment, I thought of my mother... Don't need no drugs Don't need no liquor All I want is the key to your Ferrari You ruby lips - pa! Your perfect figure - ecch! I just want the key to your Ferrari I'm gonna rev it - jam it - scram it - rip it - tear it - bare it - ram it - repair it - scoot it Up and down the 101 Don't want your love Don't want your money, girl I said all I want is the key to your Ferrari He's gonna rev it - scoot it - skid it - rev it - skip it - gun it - brake it - zoom it - vacuum it Up and down the 101 Don't want your love Don't want your money, girl I said all I want is the key to your Ferrari I just want the key to your Ferrari (cause aliens ate my buick
When I open the garage to crank the car and let it warm up I play Bad Horsie by Steve Vai. Great tune!!!
Dude! Alien Love Secrets...great album! I actually wrote a song about a Ferrari, it will be released soon. For now though, my plate says it all (Yes, I know it is not a Barchetta in the traditional sense, but at least the roof can come off): Image Unavailable, Please Login
