Night Cruise

[bondbill2k2]

So who does it?

So many times ive been bored after going out on way home thinking "im not tired and i dont feel like going home"
So ill just drive in a direction and go for a cruise often with a mate, pop to asda first grab some munchies and drive for like 3-4 hours for sake of it?

Not going fast even most time, cruise and enjoy the night & quietness

me and a mate when we lived in Clacton decided we might go clubbing in Ipswich and set out but were having such a good laugh we missed the turnoff and eventually ended up in London. Got back at 4 in the morning. Sometimes spur of the moment trips are the best things. Only one downside to this story - it was in a Ford Orion 1.4!

258 from Eupen in Belgium to Nurburg in Germany.  More than worth missing the autobahn for.  Although I'm going somewhere when I'm on it, I often wind up driving it late evening and enjoying it very, very much.

I also love driving the B3081 Verwood to Shaftesbury when it's quiet - listed in one of the motoring mags a while back as one of the UK's most challenging roads.

I had a very memorable drive at about 3AM coming back from the Isle of Wight a couple of years back - A36 south of Bath came alive when enough speed was added to it and enough traffic was deleted from it.

I used to drive from Bournemouth to Bristol, via Blandford, Sturminster Newton, Henstridge, Castle Cary, Binegar and ending up on the A37. I did this every week for three years while I was at Brunel college doing my engineering license. Always at night time, usually after kicking out time from the Steam House in Southbourne on a Sunday night. (Rock night) Really enjoyed it. Needless to say I got to know that route very well.

Doesn't sound like you went B3081 though.  Shame, it's a much better road than those leading up the way you've described.

B3081 does ring a bell, but I did not take much notice of the road identities. I had an Audi coupe back then. The old angular one rather than the jelly mould one.

My normal one if only want to go out for 1 or 2 hours is the smaller roads that run parralel with the A449 then cruise round cannock chase area and take a long detour way back

Love going for random drives!

Whilst I was at uni, me and all my mates used to have a thing called 'random trip' whereby as soon as someone said the words 'random trip' we used to have to drop everything, get in the car and just drive and see where we ended up

Was great fun and always a right laugh!

Did this last night with my mates in and around Yeovil, him in his VR6 and me in the GL, just cruising along with a mate in each car, night time driving is really calming, I do it by myself sometimes, just for the hell of it as it's relaxing.

Glad I'm not the only one.
