I say come visit Cornwall every so often! Lots of fantastic B roads and during the winter the roads are clear 90% of the time  :laugh: :driver:

Buy a Prius.....

Live near open roads GTI
Live in London Hybrid

I was in an Auris Hybrid for a hire car last week, and to sit in a traffic jam and move along in silence was pretty good, don't get me wrong it was sh1te to drive but it had BT/Traffic/Huge Aircon/comfy seats and 60mpg and would happily do 85 max on the rare occasion when the M6 wasn't solid

car enthusiasts are a minority, we are being legislated against and its only going to get worse.....

Don't fight it just buy a 1k smart car and this

Resistance is futile

And if you're pissed off give a thought to the guy with the aventador living in Kensington

I've actually said to the wife that i'd happily buy an automated car for travel around London because when you're in a car it can hardly be termed as driving - may as well get a robot/computer to do it for you!  :laugh:

I seriously don't understand having a supercar or even high end performance car in London. One guy on our street owns an Audi R8 V10 - pointless!!  :chicken:

The chaps with the Aventador, 458s, Veyron, Maclaren AMG all seem quite content parking in Kensington and driving around the block all night lol  :driver:

Ah well you see, if you read my original rant you would see that i did say the best time to go out for a drive is at night  :wink:

I've been for a few reasonably progressive drives at night and it's fine (notwithstanding the speed cameras every 100 yards) at that time London roads are nae bother  :driver:
