How would you describe your driving (or riding)?

Fast and Furious? quick?, Brisk?, exuberant?, Slow?, cautious?, devil-may-care? Patient? Impatient? Ragged? Smooth?

Discuss.

Depends where I am, what mood I'm in, what the weather is like etc etc.

There are many times when I wouldn't drive to the conditions as I'd be arrested for it! Unless I'm missing something?

Depends on which car really. Since the crisis, my everyday driving has changed considerably giving an considerable improvement in fuel economy - nearly 30% from 32mpg to 41mpg. In fact it has become a bit of a mania to try and better the consumption figures every time! Yet get me in the XKSS, with its side exhausts and triple Webers, and it would be silly to drive like a pussy. I just shut my eyes when I fill her up and don't count the cost.

Surely a speed limit and a sense of sanity are still part of the conditions though?

Similar.

Either steady, smooth, £ saving.

Or rapid, smooth, focussed and to the conditions

Depends. Trying to be as smooth as possible at the moment, and it sounds silly, but I'm a lot more relaxed when I get to places now.

Fast and Furious some times - but without all the gear changes.

I try and drive in as smooth a manner as possible. Sometimes I say sod it and listen to it sing.
