Baby you can drive my car

Apologises. I have been a bit lax here recently. So much so I haven't even mentioned the confirmation of the Todd / Cars rumours. Seems Todd, Kasim and Prairie will be teaming up with Cars guitarist Elliot Easton and keyboardist Greg Hawkes, to become the 'New Cars' for a tour next summer and gasp a possible studio record. Original Cars singer/bassist Ben Orr died of Cancer in 2000; drummer David Robinson has retired, and Lead man and vocalist Rik Ocasek is too busy with other things. Hats off to the guy though, as he has given his full blessing to the new line-up> He has been quoted as giving the project the all clear with "I want Elliot and Greg to be happy."

Think the chances of the New Cars making it to the UK are somewhat remote unless the tour is a HUGE success. BUt good luck to them.

Did you read the letters from Todd and Moogy Klingman on TRConnection regarding the Cars tour? Pretty interesting...
