[mnde]

Ok, as per the title:

I've often thought of posting the same thread!

 

My old Micra had Witney Houston "I Will Always Love You".

 

Pug 205 was that fucking awful Bryan Adams Robin Hood song.

 

Mercedes is the even worse Wet Wet Wet Four weddings shit.

 

My beloved RS1600i was registered when Kajagogo were no1 with Too Shy.

Partners in Krime "Turtle Power" - 1st august 1990 Ford Sierra 2.0 ghia

I'll have to find log books to do the rest

[warren t claim]

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say when I'm looking for a new car I always consult Wikipedia to see what was top of the charts when it was first registered.

 

If I ever find a 924 for sale that was first registered when Relax was number 1 I'll buy it.

[eddyramrod]

Hmm, that sent me off on a research trip! OK, let's see...

Granada (built in May 1972): Metal Guru or Vincent

A40 (registered January 1967; don't know exactly when it was built, some time the previous autumn I'd say): Release Me or I'm A Believer

Brava (not sure of dates exactly but I've gone for Dec 2001): Somethin' Stupid

X1/9 (September 1987): You Win Again

 

Not a bad soundtrack on the whole.

[Lord Sterling]

90 Sterling - (April 1990) - Madonna - Vogue ACE!!! First thing I'm gonna play when I get a radio installed

95 Sterling - (Nov 1995) - Robson & Jerome - I Believe/Up On The Roof

98 Micra - (Oct 1998) - Cher - Believe

 

Dont know the reg date of my other Rover yet as I dont have the papers for it yet.

 

Past cars:

 

87 Sterling (Sep 1987) - Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up - WILD! I dont think I sadly ever played that when I had it, oh well, I've still got another '87 Sterling yet.

89 827Si - (June 1989) - Jason Donovan - Sealed With A Kiss

 

If you get the date, try http://www.mineofuseless.info/chart/ and choose the date of when your car was first reg'd to find out what was hot then.

Wrong thread I think Stu

Range Rover - Robson and Jerome "Unchained Melody".

Peugeot - Frankie Goes to Hollywood - "Two Tribes"

Heep - Aqua - "Barbie Girl"

Hmm, some shite on the radio when these were new.

[Quintus]

Depends if you're talking build date or date of first registration (I really am that sad). The former was "Dilemma" by Nelly and Kelly, the latter "Stop Living the Lie" by David Sneddon.

 

Nice.

Cool thread. Lets see now, the Honda was driven out of the dealership to the retro sounds of Jive Bunny with Swing the Mood.

When escRot was new it was either The Three Degrees with When Will I See You Again or George McCrae Rock Your Baby.

 

All 3 are good tunes.

Escort : The Fugees...Killing me softly...Seems about right as it's been off the road for five years.

[boobydoo]

The most appropriate one for mine is the Simca 1100, registered 30th March 1979. Number One was Gloria Gaynor 'I Will Survive'.

 

Indeed it has.

[jonathan_dyane]

Mercedes 190D, first registered 16/4/86, A diferent corner by George Michael. Just sat through it and never want to hear it again....

 

Citroen GS Estate, first registered 5/4/79, Gloria Gaynor and I will Survive!

[jonathan_dyane]

And MZ ETZ 125, registered 16/5/90, Adamski (feat. Seal) and Killer.

My E30 was called Black Velvet after the song that was no2 at the time it was first registered, The no1 song wouldn't of been appropriate unless it was a VW. A virtual bottle of Russian Standard to the first shiter who can tell me why the number 1 song at the time would of suited a VW.

[boobydoo]

DUB Be Good To Me by Beats International.

 

Prize?
