Title: Anyone else miss a bit off spirited driving?
Post by: Alan16ac on 02 February 2012, 19:30
I'm really missing going for a good spirited drive in my car, it's either soaking wet or icey as hell outside at the moment.
I'm dying to just thrash my car but can't due to unsafe conditions.
Anyone else missing a bit of fun driving?
I'm taking it out on Forza atm lol.

I overtake everything driving under the speed limit.
A habit I need to get out of.

4WD (albeit Haldex and wires) doesn't make you stop any quicker.

I've still never been pulled over.

I went to get raw plugs or wall plugs or whatever their called, got there, forgot my wallet, pulled out, got in to second and floored it up to 6 grand (sounds truly orgasmic) didn't see the traffic car parked in the next turning waiting for some thingy to nail it past them  :embarassed:

i shifted straight into 5th and cruised, didn't see them behind me for about 40 seconds anyway. but i wasn't boy racer driving so i got away with it, he even comented on the shine of the paint! Lucky escape!

I'm missing any sort of driving, my car is in bits in a friends shed at the moment so not going anywhere. I'm very lucky though because my other half is doing a bit of a rebuild following on from hg failure so hopefully I'll have it back soon and it'll be better than ever  :smiley:

Feeling like a bit of a garage widow at the moment though  :sad:
