Starting to question myself here. Am i totaly addicted to speed ( not the drug thanks ). Am middle age dabbled a bit with drugs in the past nothing much never found them addictive., but all the time i need to go faster, not in stupid places, schools etc, just country lanes and motoways. ive done track days, bit of single stage rallying in the 90's. But its never enough always want more.
Trouble is i dont have the money to spend on loads of track days or rallying again. so were do i get kicks from ?.
Most be loads on here in the same boat. so whats the answer. is it addictive ?. and can anything stop it or do i wait for the an inevitable conclusion !.
I think it is, am not moaning cos i enjoy every minute am doing it.
But with all the crack downs going on over it can i carry on speeding.
Answers on a postcard please smile

[quote=whitevanman88]I had this. And I have a cure!

Get a small car, say clio, micra, corsa with a 1.2, or ideally a 1.0.

Use that as your daily drive for a bit, you will find it extremely entertaining to drive without breaking the limit!

Seriously, it does work.[/quote

Tried that just didnt work for me, sorry.
always went back to more powerful cars.
