On a regular longish journey I undertake:
If I take the Honda, can do it without a stop, more often have to stop once for a pee-break.
If I take the TVR, can never do it without a stop, and have been known to stop for up to three pee-breaks!
Been noticing this on other runs too.
Am I a freak?! Don't know whether to consult a doctor or a mechanic!
Hmmmmm......

I'm shocked and hurt - such a lack of sympathy and understanding! I'm blatantly not mad, and neither am I.

The frequent stops just sound like a good excuse to stretch out the drive and get you a bit more noticed if you ask me.

correct:

slow down, stop scaring yourself and you'll want to pee less!

and your short term memory will improve, and your arteries will furr up less with unused adrenaline.

oh yes, your short term memory will improve too.

It's the vibration and the cold, I think. Luckily, whichever way I drive along the A303, the first Optimax garage has a loo.
