#167 Datsun is back, but which other car brands should return
from the grave? The Nissan Delta Wing due to race at Le Mans,
will it fall over at the first bend? Sniff Petrol on Chinese
tyres and drunk French drivers. Plus new music: The Lunar
Grand Prix.

Gareth Jones On Speed vs Don Waits – The
Lunar Grand Prix
There are three cars on the Moon
Designed & driven by a loon
I hope we get to see them soon
Driving cars on the Moon.
Ten miles per hour
Driven in one-sixth G
I wanna go,
Do you wanna go
To the Lunar Grand Prix?
It was the Soviet Empire who brought the dream
alive,
But only America could do it (I’m talking about arrive and
drive)
One small step for a man, one giant leap
American icons driven in a Lunar Jeep.
No air, no weather, no combustion, no sound
"Look John we bin’ climbin’
Man, that was all
four wheels off the ground".
I'll drive all night in a Lunar day
Strolling on the Moon in the month of May, wait a minute
it was September
In this low gravity it's hard to remember.
Oh the rules and regulations
They can all be thrown away
The Moon’s surface is the due restriction
Of NASA …..not the FIA.
Oh honey you'd love to drive up here
Oh baby I miss you
Parking’s not a problem
Traffic’s not an issue.
There are three cars on the Moon
Designed & driven by a loon
I hope we get to see them soon
Driving cars on the Moon.
There are three cars on the Moon

Driving cars on the Moon.
Driving cars
Driving cars
Driving cars on the Moon.
