Title: The Galaxy's guide to the hitch-hiker
Post by: Mikey on March 13, 2016, 11:23:00 AM
My Ford Galaxy is the nearest I can get to a Ford Prefect.
I will be going on a road trip to Spain this week via a conference in Birmingham & Mr Google claims that it will take about 23 hours, which is somewhat shorter than Mr Garmin.
Mr Garmin, may have factored in Birmingham & Paris, more likely a trip via Belgium.
On the off chance that a hitch-hiker may be able to jump into the car, I was wondering if I could make it a bit of a Mitchell fest.
What an opportunity to educate someone  ;D
Do I have 23 hours worth of Mitchell music?

Um, I'm going to guess and say "Yes".

But I can't back it up

It's actually from Dewsbury, via a conference in Birmingham tomorrow, then onwards.

It's about time I actually put some actual thought and action into this.
My initial idea was played on, and it's CD's I have, not downloads as my car doesn't play MPĀ£'s, yes I know I can cheat.

I think I've got about,
10 Arena albums
4 Frost*, that I'm going to take, so not the freebie live ones & all the other additional Frost* bits & pieces
2 It bites
2 Wetton/Downes
2 John Wetton
1 Lonely Robot

That's 21, what else have I got?
