Sunday Cruising

[cisco]

Oh how awesome just whooshing around in semi cold air on a fine Sunday is. Having an absolute corker of a time, really really enjoying it.

Car driving neat perfectly, just having a ball - a real pleasure to drive.

Was following this really nicely modified fresh red 180sx around for a while. Looks very modified, looks bloody great though. He had a really nice body kit on it, nice fresh paint job, great wheels, the spaceship looking round rear lights etc. I liked that car, it was cool.

Nice feeling eh Cisco? I am stuck in front of the computer all day doing work budgets for next financial year. 3 weeks to go and thats it, I am unemployed until we hit Perth.
Definately going to find a job with less responsibility/stress.
Boosting, Cisco is always boosting.

 

[cisco]

Yay congrats on being unemployed. Its an awesome feeling haha. In total, I'll have had 7 weeks off work, but only next week off, then I'm back into it on Monday week.

Stuck on the computer hey, well just make sure you keep refreshing micra.com.au to keep you wide awake and interested hehe. Then you can flick back and do some of the budget stuff again etc.

Yeah I think there is a lot to be said about taking on lower-stress jobs sometimes. That's what I have done with this new job also.

 

[CMF_Alex_B]

Yep, Fantastic day today. Perfect ambient temperature for a nice sunday drive with the roof tilted and windows down, ahhhhh. Really enjoying the micra these days,

Alex

Spot on Alex. Sunroof is a major plus sometimes. Really adds to the atmosphere.

 

[CMF_Alex_B]

yeh, cant see myself without one now hey. Been spoilt, first car (TA22 Celica) had a sunroof, now the micra. Picked up some new polarised shades today, loving not being blinded by glare. Gave her a wash as the sun was setting too.

Ahhh, nothing like motoring in autumn or spring,

Alex

 

[CMF_Toma]

Whats some good songs to highlight this mood?
Driving down the freeway on a sunny sunday afternoon with not too many cars around, sunroof open, sunglasses on and a hot babe in your passenger seat?

Im thinking
Warrant - Cherry Pie
Van Halen - Panama or Jump!

 

[cisco]

Offspring - Burn it up

 

[CMF_White Knight]

Beatles-Drive My Car. Beach Boys-Little Deuce Coupe.Eagles-Take It Easy. When I am feeling sort of crazy and the eyes glaze over Ram Jam-Black Betty.

 

[CMF_Alex_B]

Yesterday was driven to the best of Dire Straits,

Alex

 

[CMF_Yom]

Radio - Static because I broke the antenna.

 

[CMF_Sean]

Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing

A good dose of some Mark Knoppfler is just too good to pass up on a Sunday

Sean

 

[CMF_Yom]

I don't mind a bit of billy joel either.

 

[CMF_Toma]

Nice. Ill stick it all on a compilation and play it next time i do go driving with the sunroof open on a sunny sunday with my hot babe.

Yom, ROFLCOPTER! Static

 

[CMF_Alex_B]

yep, spot on seano, heck i might be wearing pink shirts soon

Money For Nothing (with Eric Clapton, Sting and Phil Collins) - Dire Straits

The above is an awesome track too, and its Live,

Alex

 

[CMF_White Knight]

With you Seano/Alex. Dire Straits great stuff.Knopp not the greatest singer but was one tight band and the guitar work is the best.
Yes great driving music.

 

[CMF_Sean]

I love the solo at the end of Sultans of Swing!

Other than that, The Best of the Eagles is awesome!

Sean

 

[CMF_jamm'n]

yeah cool, re: dire Straits, and its piss easy to play too.

 

[CMF_White Knight]

Oh forgot Matty a bit of a mean guitar player. Seano you have risen in my eyes liking some of the old stuff.( you were pretty high up anyway)
Wear that salmon shirt anytime mate.

 

[CMF_Toma]

Obviously for a cruising song, Sunday Morning - Maroon 5, if youre into that kinda thing.

I drive around listening to The Meaning of Life by the Offpring quite often and it really get the blood pumping and driving foot heavy!

 

[CMF_devilstickz]

Sorry guys,

the BEST cruising song ever HAS to be poison, by Alice Cooper...

Once that one gets going there's nothing but you and the open road

 

[CMF_Yom]

"I love the solo at the end of Sultans of Swing!

Sean

Eagles for the win!

*humms hotel califonia*

Bit like driving a micra hey seano. You can check out (sell) but you can never leave (you came crawling back, didnt you?)

I also have a bit of Mick Jagger and some Rolling Stones tracks on the CD. Some of it is quite good for driving.

Van Morrison: Days like this <--- Awesome.
Marc Cohn: Walking in Memphis <-- Not bad either

 

[CMF_Alex_B]

Marc Cohn: Walking in Memphis <-- Not bad either

Haharrrr, i always liked that song! just dont have a copy,

Any other Sunday Driving songs?

Alex

 

[CMF_White Knight]

Easybeats. "Friday on my Mind". If that does not stir the juices nothing will.
Took Whitey for a hammer along Tonkin Hwy today. No traffic no cops so cleaned out any built up carbon deposits.
That car and me are now sole mates.When I die it goes with me to the other side.No need to pay the ferryman as we will be across the other side before he knows it.

 

[CMF_mighty mouse]

would have to be a tie between who'd be a cop by frenzal rhomb and ava-cado by lamexcuse (go the local punk bands!!)

 

[CMF_Yom]

mighty mouse: were you just speaking in klingon or something? lol

 

[CMF_Brendon]

haha frenzal rhomb. man i aint listened to them in a long long time. i used to be mad punk fan now taste has turned into the more heavier and progressive bands.

 

[CMF_mighty mouse]

yea im really gettin intoo cog karnivool and the butterfly effect

 

[CMF_Brendon]

cog are my most favourite aussie band. i been into them for about 2 yrs now i have seen them about 6 times in concert so far and love it everytime.!! for me its tool, dreamtheater, perfect circle, meshuggah, metallica, fear factory, and like everything else from chilli peppers to unwritten law to sublime to the eagles and neil young. love it all.

 

[CMF_jamm'n]

i don't like music

 

[CMF_White Knight]

Lost me completly.Music died after the 1970s.

 

[CMF_Yom]

Nay. It died when britney spears and the spice girls decided they could sing.

 

[CMF_Toma]

Best song for crusing with friends is "Bohemian Rhapsody" By Queen. Me and my bogan mates do a great re-make of Waynes World to that song in the Micra.
