Random questions come in to my mind at times so I thought I would ask you all my latest one.

I would also like to know if this is something you would be interested in doing.

So the questions............

What do you use your cars for?

Do you take them to shows? (Vintage/classic and the like)

Do you go out with other PH'ers for runs?

Do you take them on the track?

Or is it just for the kids run?

Only got the one car so it does everything. Although I don't track it. Or show it.

Or have kids.

Volvo V50 - mile munching company hack and dog transporter - actually a very good, practical car, with a splendid sound system!

TVR Griffith 500HC - my weekend toy with its own sound track.
Used infrequently for occasional disturbances of the peace, scaring and impressing people aplenty! :biggrin:

What do you use your cars for? Going places further than i will reasonably walk to (which is from Altens to Bridge of Don in Aberdeen), blasting up and down the A90 to Glasgow every couple of months

Do you take them to shows? (Vintage/classic and the like) Nope, i very much doubt they would let me in hehe

Do you go out with other PH'ers for runs? Again, nope. Mainly because i'd have to thrash it silly to keep up, and it's got crap brakes so wouldn't be able to stop!

Do you take them on the track? See above, plus it's a bit big for the track

Or is it just for the kids run? N/A

However, if i can get the old girl sold and my bike test passed, then after a bike purchase hopefully something a bit sportier August/September time thumbup

My Audi Coupe is an everyday driver. i had planned on the odd track day but as my head already touches the roof with a helmet on i can only see the floor mats... however the car is not really setup as a track car but for fun i wouldn't mind just for fun.

Had a mk2 golf purposefully for track days but it sat in my folks garage for 8 months and i used it once, so i got rid of that idea. But maybe later time will come. Occasionally go on runs and shows.
