And if you can set a speed limiter....Highway Star or Smoke on the Water from Deep Purple's Machine Head!

And for some 'patriotism' while the miles roll by....Locomotive Breath from Tull!

Many thanks for all the suggestions. Quite a few already on my list, quite a few songs by artists that I know but not familiar with those tracks and loads of stuff I've never heard of so I'll check out all your suggestions on Amazon and get downloading.

Much appreciated guys and girls!
