Junction 14 of the M4, taking the roundabout under the roadway to then drive to Lambourn, I may have been guilty of changing down and revving the engine of my Boxster, just to hear it bounce off the carriageway above....

In Caterham circles, the Dartford Tunnel is known as the Dartford Symphony Hall.

I think it may have been mine actually. What was the long number and the expiry date and I will check.

As I've been out fixing the fencing . . . hammering in a nail perfectly straight with a couple of good hits.

That and sawing a pice of wood perfectly with a new saw.

When a really good "driving song" comes on just at the moment you break free from traffic/lights go green/you can put your foot down on a slip road and join a clear dual carriageway/motorway and just imagine for a few seconds that you're a driving hero even if you're just in a mundane diesel Skoda

Loved this back when the Forth Road Bridge had tolls- right sonng comes on, barrier goes up and it's a drag race up to 50MPH.

I've got a good 'un too. I'll give you a thousand guesses...

Seeing a new set of Sport Max RT on my old Alfa....

Being in the back garden and hearing one of our three cockerels - 100 metres away at our allotments - and knowing whether it's Morph, Sunny or Enzo from the crow.

opening the foil on a new jar of coffee, oddly satisfying

Opening the box of my latest purchase from Mr Airfix.

[Digby]

The soft *tick* *tick* *tick* of a cooling exhaust as the garage door comes down.

Cleaning a very dirty car with a pressure washer - I find it so satisfying seeing the dirt fly off.

Also...hugs. A simple hug from someone can make me feel so much better.

The way a fresh new really sharp spade bit cuts effortlessly through wood.

I normally buy cheapy cheapo ones as you invariably hit nails and bugguh em when drilling carcass to 1st fix but the cheapo ones seem made of fking cheese these days so bought some black dewalt branded ones.

Smell
Grass cut with a petrol mower
A fresh pack of razors
Leather upholstery in a cleaned car
Fanning through a new book
The air during a thunderstorm
The inside of a new (leather) shoe.
A pee after asparagus

[Jambon]

Touch
Fresh sheets, cold evening & electric blanket
Chinchilla fur
Peach skin
A hot power shower after a bike ride
The first signs of a car seat heating up
Cutting through a steak

Holding on to the Pringles p155 whilst on the ale (on e you pop you can't stop), and timing it. I've managed 52 seconds to last squirt. Unfortunately those days are nearing an end at 53!
