Just nipping out for some milk....

[gooby]

I just went out for some milk and meuseli. 57 mile round trip, and no milk and no meuseli. What is it about the elise that makes you do this. When I first got the car, I would go get some fresh cornish pasties (from cornwall!) and with the aid of the ever warm boot get them home still warm!

It is a bit of a problem going to meetings. I get to the meeting and all I want to talk about was the fantastic drive, no other car does this!

Does anyone else have this problem?

I am looking outside and the rain has gone, the road is dry, I am seriously considering taking the roof off and doing it again.

I want my car back so I can go out on a spoof milk & museli run

20 mile round trip to the gym last week (2 miles away)
Several visits to the video shop (her:we've seen that one, me:really, better go get a different one then!)
Keep arriving back at my flat, noticing there is nowhere really really easy to park, so going off for
a quick blast to let some people move!

Filled up 4 times in one week. I know it's a small tank, but it's getting silly now!
Loved every mile so far.

Know exactly what you mean - I keep driving to and from work via the Chiltern Hills - which are in the wrong direction!

I did the old Ive just washed the car so I'll drive it to get it dry chestnut, 2 hours later return with the car dirtier than before I washed it.

Its a drivers car, so drive it

Exactly what I did on Saturday. Left the house gleaming, arrived at girlfriend some 50 miles, a myriad of twisty lanes and 1.5hrs later, and it was grubby again. Tyres are nicely scrubbed in though

Hehe, me too!
Thought i'd just wash off the surface dust with a jetspray...then it was all wet and the sun came out so
had to go for a drive to dry out the roof so I could take it off and put it in the boot...took a bit longer
to get away from the traffic than anticipated...ended up arriving 30mins late with very dusty car indeed.
Love it.

Now you see, that's what I'm talking about! Check Gooby's stats... 2,722 posts in 19 months and he still waxes lyrical about his car and all that it brings like this

Tell me something that comes close and I'd say you were fibbing

Is that just a phase..? I'm still there after 10 weeks... don't think it'll pass either

Did another milk run yesterday evening. 75 miles and 2 hours to get milk from the shop half a mile from my house.

I am in trouble now.
Simple - The wife wants me to pick up a friend and drop them off at another friends house so they can all go for a walk. The plan Put wife in Poonjero, drive to wimborne, pick up frind and on the way back drop off.

It is beautiful out there and because it is early on a sunday I knoe there is sod all traffic. I change the plan to Use the 'liz to pick up friend thus giving the wife longer to enjoy a sunday coffee. Set off with time to spare and decide to get "scenic" about my route. I came across a beautiful red S1 with a loud exhaust and full racing roll cage and we have a little fun, then pull over and chat. (Hello Harvey)

By the time the chat is over I should have been on the return journey and I still have 10 miles of country lane before I get to pick up friend....

Arrive home 40mins late to a angry wife. Not helped by the fact I have that manic grin because I have had soooooo much fun.

RE: Gooby

I'm sure said friend didn't mind run in liz though,
