Floor it!

Really bad quality short video of me accelerating up the M5 in the Cerbera - watch out - it flips to one side part way through (not the car!) as I turned the phone round! You'll just have to crane your neck!

Don't forget to turn the sound up...

As good today as it's always been...

I just spent the entire day (virtually) listening to Saxon (http://www.saxon747.com)

For those of you who are not familiar with their work, Saxon were a heavy metal band who burst on to the rock scene in 1980. I went to see them live at the Odeon in Taunton in that year (I was 16 or 17) and they were amazing.

Listening to the albums 'Strong Arm of The Law' and 'Wheels of Steel' today brought it all back. The speed, the power and the unbridled energy in each track still does the business 27 years later! Only AC/DC tops it (in my humble opinion). And the lyrics? Well, only Biff Byford could belt out the line: "on a blue sea of denim" in the track 'Heavy Metal Thunder' and make it sound brilliant.

It seems they have a new album out - cool.

If you remember them (or even if you don't) I suggest you do yourself a favour and download the tracks immediately.

Saxon - as good today as it's always been.
