Weekend cars. Worth it nowadays?

More generally, I think I'd really struggle to find enjoyment from driving if I was doing 25k+ miles for work (I take public transport). Surely with spending multiple hours of every single workday behind the wheel, the last thing you'd want to do is also spend your free time there?
There's driving and then there's driving.Driving back and forth on the motorway in my diesel hatchback is not comparable to a good thrash up and down the mountains in the MX5. It's like comparing walking to work on the street and going for a hike in the mountains.

Staffordshire has the Elan Valley to the West over the border and north Wales not too far away.
Very empty roads on Friday morning for me. Early starts on a weekend or day off is the only way I use my weekend car, with the exeption of a country pub or farm shop drive/bumbling along the lanes.
From Friday morning in north Wales:
Very worth it IMHO!

It can be frustrating if a planned trip gets rained off mind (I don’t tend to use the Lotus in the wet), but st happens… especially if your default driving location is North Wales!
I totally understand people not wanting to drive a boring daily and wait a week or two to use a performance car. But running a weekend car for no other reason to drive on empty scenic roads, away from daily life, that It all makes sense… to me anyway!
