The wonderful app that is Shazam, I heard this on Absolute Rock 80’s today. The last time I heard this song was on BFBS being played as we were travelling from Kuwait to Basra. I remember my dad having it on the radio in his Ford Granada 2.8! Since then and in the gulf I have never heard it being played and and it has almost been like the holy grail, as I could only remember the line “little white line” I couldn’t find it until now, its been downloaded and put on all of my devices and even as a ring tone! Thanks for the upload. 👍🍺
Love this song. Prefer the A10 (Autoroute L’Aquitaine) in France, though.
Wicked
Not to be confused with Tommy Robinson as I did, momentarily, the other day.

Wearing the Triangle on the Beeb back then took serious guts. Respect due to Tom for this.
This is total driving song that your parents listen to
Thanks, Tom. Love it. Can’t say anything more intelligent than that.
One of the greatest songs in the history of music.
This is music
Polish cover was Oddział już zamknięty jest – Polish Band Oddział zamknięty
Mark Ambler looks utterly bored, or perhaps it's terrified.
Such a good song to work to, (trainee joiner). This came on the radio recently while working, it certainly helps.
2468 motorway is basically a very simple rock and roll song to play on the guitar Tom Robinson said he basically made up the song in a few hours quickly it's a great song brings back memories of 1977 when I was 16 never was a fan of top of the pops much also the acts had to mime
