Hi All,

For those who watched Top Gear last night, has anyone got the name of the tune they used when James May was driving the Jag XJ6? Its instrumental and is heavily used on Sky Sports' Rubgy coverage - its all over the place at the minute but I've no idea what it is.

Its got two strong trumpet notes in it which repeat, not dance but sort of like up-tempo chill-out if you get my meaning.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,

BTW While I'm here, the tune off Top Gear a few weeks ago that samples Armand Van Heldon's "You Don't Know Me" but has a very old-school bassline - any ideas? Think it was on a fast red sportscar.

Heres a very bad example textually:

Trumpet (Loud single note) DAH DAH DAH

Drum loop: kick, snare, kick, kick, snare

Trumpet: DAH DAH DAH

If anyone can guess please do!

I was going to amaze you all with my knowledge of Allman Brothers recordings (the original theme tune) but thats not what you're after!
