12 Days of Christmas - 12 Drummers Drumming

[See the latest iMOTOR magazine here]

So, we’ve got 24 days until we’re all forced to sit with family, eat excessively and drink ourselves into a stupor (if you’re not driving, that is).

This year iMotor has decided to follow the iconic (and irritating-when-sung-by-kids) carol The Twelve Days of Christmas. Eleven Pipers Piping will appear on Thursday, and we’ve got a new one every two days. Even Sundays.

Now, Twelve Drummers Drumming can mean many things, but we’ve taken it to mean anything involving drums, or instruments for that matter. So we've decided to give you a few of our favorite driving songs to get you in the mood to responsibly hoon your way back home for a mug of mulled wine and a smooch under some mistletoe, or to sit on your own. Weeping.

The songs were chosen by us in t'office and some of our followers on Twitter – so don’t get shouty if you don’t like a few of them. But we do apologise for Gary Numan.
