I love driving.

Me too

Had a play with a 08 Swift Sporting on the way home tonight.

Either he was not pushing that hard or the Swift and my Puma are not as well matched as I had first thought!

Still fun all the same....

Especially as my 50min commute turned into a 3hr commute!!!

I often feel the roads are too crowded, but I've started giving myself a bit more time to go the long way....avoiding dual carriageways and A roads.

It isn't just the Peak District and North Wales that are playgrounds.

I 'followed my nose' and took a couple of hours to get from Brum to London last week just using lanes through Warwickshire, Northants and Buckinghamshire. Not crowded, nice roads, lovely villages, some great bends and it took about 45m longer than the M1/M6.....

Well I had a hateful day of driving today! As I mentioned yesterday I was going to the EVO triangle but with all of the carnage on the motorways around here I decided to head out to Southport.

I thought I'd take in the formby bypass, the southport coast road, the road over to Rufford and Parbold.

OMFG I did 98 miles in heavy traffic, the coast road was closed and when I did find a decent stretch because of the never ending threats about speed cameras the fun was over in seconds

I got stuck in endless stretches of roadworks and caught behind countless caravans / trucks / mongs.

To top it off I had the roof down and got a burnt head.

I've decided that UK roads are no fun especially in a 340bhp roadster that desperately wants to stretch its legs.

Thoroughly pi$$ed orf

Ouch. I got stuck for about 5 minutes on the M56 due to an accident but otherwise fine - had great day's driving on the evo triangle and the pass of llanberis.

You can go and.....

I made a really bad call today and I'm really annoyed with myself, glad you had a good day.

cheers...didn't mean to rub it in. hopefully there will be plenty more nice days this year

all very nice and we are all guilty of using the loud pedal to vent some frustration or get some enjoyment. Personally it nearly killed me and frankly you might think the roads are empty until you meet someone with the same assumption. Without sounding the killjoy, id keep it to the track not the queens highway. Totalling your car, yourself or worst still someone else is a millstone around your neck for the rest of your life. This country is just too conjested for hooning in my humble opinion.

Sorry where does it say anyone is driving dangerously? I shall repeat myself:

I don't really break the limit anyway. That's half the fun, getting a really good drive within the limits.

According to this thread, the Rover was well-driven. Posted in the Yorkshire sub-forum by this member.
