...... it's an often used metaphor, Life is a Journey..... so if your life was a road trip how would it be going right now?

- Are you cruising down the motoway in the ouside lane at 80mph everything running smoothly?

- Or did you take a wrong turn a while back and your dithering around some country back lane?

-Were you hammering along one minute with nothing to stop you, but then you blew a cylinder and you're limping along the hard shoulder?

Somethings broke. The bonnet is open and I'm looking in, but really haven't a clue what I'm looking at. I've phoned the AA but there's no sign of them. It's cold and raining on the side of the motorway, can't even enjoy a ciggie.

I'm driving along the motorway at 50mph, but 1/2 a mile ahead of me the workmen are still laying the surface albeit very quickly.......

I'm blasting along a very twisty b-road that is shrouded in fog. I'm running out of petrol but I'm not entirely certain as to how much further I have to go before the end of my journey.

I can see everything that's happened in my rear view mirror but can do alll about it.

It's a jolly exciting trip though!

took a few wrong turns, managed to get stuck with a right banger, but luck has let me trade it in. moved through a few different sporty models and now have a nice low mileage one in the garage for when the mood takes me and i want to go for a good drive.

overall enjoying the country lanes at the moment,

Flying down the autobahn on a beautiful day in a car that's great to drive but has appalling residual values...

I'm on a top quality French autoroute with little traffic, making good progress toward Paris.

Problem is I needed to go to London.

I'm sure I knew where I wanted to go when I started, seem to keep changing lanes as the traffic is quite heavy though, tried a few detours but end up back on the main road again, I must be driving a TVR as it's bloody thirsty and every so often I have to stop and pull over, before starting off again. I picked up a passenger a while back who keeps grabbing the wheel and trying to steer as well, think I may be dropping her off at the nearest sign marked 'exit'.

Had a great car on a great road, but have had problems with the gearbox, I can only get second now, which is hampering progress, and the road is getting bumpier. I can see a long series of sweeping turns on a smooth road with beautiful scenery, with a garage to fix the gears, but I just can't figure out how to get there, my road just seems to go on and on.

And the award for most depressing post of the day goes to............

Doing NSL ish on a nice flowing A road, but a long way from home and with only the vaguest idea of where I'm going and wether I'm on the right road or not!

You also appear to have installed 1.1l twin turbo supercharged, fuel injected, nitrous oxide power plant into that winnebago..... the chasis will take it but will the engine blow?

If my life was a car journey?

Then I'm at the wheel, sitting on the drive, admiring the dashboard, the engine, the seats, everything.

Trouble is, there's no fuel in it. I've sent a mate to the petrol station with a can but he's been frickin' years.
