How do you know you are excellent at driving?
People do often tell me they are great drivers, and I wonder how they know.
Mileage covered, accidents had, cars driven, compliments received, various driving qualifications achieved, various OTJ driving assessments, people compliments. Stints where driven for a living. Passion for cars and driving.

Whenever I drive anyone, anywhere (barring the OH or my mum - they love to kick me down) there's a theme of compliments.
Me too.

Sometimes... just sometimes you notice something extraordinary. -The scything arc of the Peregrine Falcon's dive, the majestic stag, the loping beauty of the Cheese terrier.

There is something magnificent and regal about the fluidity and delicacy of their movement. But then then there's my driving. Quite simply, when I get behind the wheel the world takes notice. I have only mistakenly rammed the car in front up the arse once in 2003 at a junction. I miss gears less than once a month. I spot an overtake opportunity and lean forward, bouncing slightly in my seat in the a manner so masculine, the lady reading the news on the radio comes.

I have been assessed by a range of individuals, Nelson Mandela, Kay Burley, Rod Hull & Emu, amongst others. Each one of them (other than Rod Hull and Emu for some reason) began to clap within seconds of driving down the road.

Driving.

Passion.

I am driving.

I am passion.

I am drivession.

I think I understand now!
I feel the same way about riding my horses...the special spiritual understanding we have as we trot, canter or gallop through the stubble fields, the wind in my hair, the speed, the power, the feeling of flying through the air...




...then the smack in the face when the walnut-brained fker spooks at a pigeon and decks me in the mud.

It's a skill.
One that my Parkinsonian father used to suck at.

You're nearly there.

How can I explain this better?

...

In 1998, 20 years after the guitar was invented, some guitarians witnessed Dave's and my driving. They say they suddenly felt a sense of clarity, an understanding. Seeing the mastery of the controls, the almost careless caress of the hand on the gearstick, a brush of the sun visor thing in high glare conditions. A journey into the intricacies... the intimacies between man and machine...

-They began to play their guitars like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFufY5CVxMg

You mean that the kinetic beauty of your driving is equivalent to the visual beauty of his sweater/shirt combo?

No, no, everyone's here, we just can't think of anything to say.

I had terrible trouble getting my contact lenses out last night. Until I remembered that I don't have contact lenses.

I was more hinting that driving cant exist without them, just like sheep exist to be fked by zollar
