my missus used to think like that sometimes, always say crap like "i want this song played at my funeral" ... glad i got her outta that though. was as you put it, a little morbid.

i wouldnt have a clue, as long as it meant alot to me. Theres a few songs i love that are a bit sappy, and crappy but still theres meaning behind them that i can appreciate and that i hope i can relate to.

Celine Dion - My Heart will go on (i hate titanic ... and only like this song because i watched a video with it that was based on Final fantasy 8 - a game of which i played when i was a lot younger and related to so much of it.)

Vertical Horizon - Everything You Wanted - or whatever its bloody called. Like it for a good while now.

Enigma - Gravity Of Love ... there is some sick bass durin the song, even though its a "love song" sort of thing, i still love it.

.... every man to his own.... so shuttup :D

(plus i dont think i would want people to listen to rap, dance music etc ... they should be SAD ... i would be DEAD AT THE TIME!)

If you want to get really morbid then have yourself wrapped in tin foil and have the wiggles play "hot potatoe" at your cremation.

But on the more serious note probable something more upbeat at my funeral. I know it will be a sad time but I hate the thought of me bumming people out. I would rather a celebration of my life than a morning of my death.

I think Meredith Brooks Bitch would be appropriate for me.

Nah i know the song i just dont know the name ..... think it maybe a Nickleback son gi dont know shall find out

Came up with:

Julian Lennon - Saltwater (bit sappy, but quite a beautiful song)

Faith no More - Easy

Bob Dylan - Stuck in the Middle (for something a bit more upbeat :D ) ;and

Paul Kelly - Dumb Things

I could add a few more, but that's the short list for now.

Cheers

Rob

I'd love to have "With or without you - U2" and "The day you went away - Wendy Matthews"

I don't know, but I'm one of those people that play sad songs at sad times.

I'd also like to be cremated and have the person closest to me do a huge burnout beside my resting place.

    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally. 
    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
