Gave my wife the excuse that I needed to pop down to the garage and fill up the MX5 tank because I’d been on a long trip yesterday and low on fuel, didn’t want the hassle in the morning on the way to work blah blah blah
went the long way round and back another long way round just because I could.
haven’t done that in any other car I’ve owned in over 5 years
I feel strangely calm now
YUP
works for me too…[H]
im working on the same principle but with the mx5 twist…any excuse for a drive with the roof down! [;)]
I know what you mean, I’ve only had my 5 for three weeks but I’m constantly thinking of where can I go or does the other half need me to go out for something so I can go for a drive and when I do I have to go the longest route. I’ve never been like this with any other we’ve owned, I just love driving it[:D]
I do the same with mine, I finish a journey, then think to hell with it, put my foot down and go for a blast along some country lanes just for fun! I love driving it! They’re very adictive!
let’s just hope this bloody government doen’t carry out their threat to reduce B road speed to 50 mph…
Works for me too !! just love taking her out !!
It is strange I’m another thats only had my MX5 for 3 weeks , i went out in her yesterday got it really dirty racing around some lanes in Shropshire on my day off, i had to give it a wash…I have never washed a car twice in 3 days!!!
But i have to care for her, she’s back in the garage under cover again until next weekend…
can’t wait !!!
I’ve had mine for over 5 years now and I still drive home the long way from work just to drive the car a bit longer. Many boring Sundays are spent ‘just’ driving around the lanes for fun … me and the girlfriend quite often drive 30+ miles just to pop somewhere for a cuppa.
Ive only had mine for 4 days now and find myself going home from work ‘the long way’. Cant believe it took me so long to get round to buying a 5!
Had mine for 18 months now, The novelty doesent wear off, if any thing it just gets more addictive.
Its just one constant round of driving, polishing followed by more driving. [H]
I’ve not really got into the just going for a drive mentality yet, however yesterday I left work feeling knackered and grumpy, and normally the (10 minute!) drive home clears that all out and leaves me feeling much better, but yesterday it took a drive to visit the other half’s parents, so about half an hour each way. Still, it does seem that the car can always cheer me up!
Problem is, there aren’t really any great B roads around here - I’d have to drive through town centres and heavy traffic to get to them. Maybe I should move to the middle of Wales…
