"I was in traffic in London once and had a problem with some people in front. They tried to beat me up and get me out of the car. I locked the doors and eventually drove up on the pavement and got away from them. It's kind of to do with that. It explains how you can feel safe inside a car in the modern world... When you're in it, your whole mentality is different... It's like your own little personal empire with four wheels on it."

'It's the only way to live - in cars.' I haven't got around jamming John Foxx's metamatic yet, or even Ultravox in that instance (also, not forgetting Depeche Mode) but here's Gary!
The latest Churchill ad reminded me of this classic. I was tempted to go with the live Nine Inch Nails version with Gary on vocals but went with the original.
Getting my first car this week! (Still need to learn how to drive, mind you)
