In 1972 Chris Rea bought the copyrights to every single tune played on the air horns of Ford Cortinas and Capris.

In 1974 alone he earned £84,000 in royalties.

During one visit to the Falkland Islands in 1982, Chris Rea's TURDIS flew low over the airfield at Stanley and a backfire from the Auberge Field cratered the runway. Rea had been playing Road To Hell on the stereo at the time and the loud howling noise this produced was mistaken by Argentine conscripts as the Olympus engines from a Vulcan bomber.
