Mine turned out to be "World in Motion" by the England Football Team. Great title for the arrival of my M100 into the world. :D
My wife's just divorced me because I wouldn't open the car door for her!
To be fair I panicked and swam straight for the surface.

Mind you it was at the top of the charts for 16 weeks so there will be a few cars produced in that time frame

A fine tune brings back great memories - mind you heavily sampled Guns Of Brixton by the Clash, which was even better!

THANK YOU!
I'm driven mad every time I hear this trying to work out what the sample was from.

First Reg in Jersey 12 July 1995 to the sounds of Boom Boom Boom by the Outhere Brothers apparently - not one I remember!

First Reg in UK 1 May 2003 (it says on the V5, but I remember doing it before then!) to the equally memorable Make Luv by Room 5 Feat Oliver Cheatham

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

ooh I love a silly game this time of year


Elvis - Good luck charm
Maria McKee - Show me heaven, Snap - Rhythm is a dancer
Jimmy Nail - Ain't no doubt
Roll deep - Green light

Notes

The 1500 doesn't have enough metal left to even make a good luck charm.

Collapso was originally registered on the IOM but V5 shows the date she came back to the mainland, so I had two goes.

Mother had me when the No.1 was Everly Brothers - All I have to do is dream. She wasn't wrong there bless her. :lol:

Looks like I too have Maria McKee's Show Me heaven!

And Luciano Pavarotti/Plácido Domingo/José Carreras "In Concert" was the number one album!

If they'd waited a few weeks before registering it would have been the Charlatans - much better!
