I'm feeling a bit dejected with scoob driving of late. If it's not heavy traffic it's a lack of safe overtaking and when you do, you **** yourself thinking a camera van is somewhere near.

I'm getting so paranoid I'm losing interest in the car, I really need a track day....

So where do you lot DRIVE your cars without being too risky?

LOL. Why do you think I'm moving from the South East to Scotland next month? Once I'm up there, I think I'll get me a nice little weekend car (Caterham, perhaps) and enjoy those open roads.

Been there, done that. Obviously, the caterham would be for the 2 months' summer up there.

For the winter I have my new Jag - heated seats, heated windscreens, heated mirrors, etc., etc., etc. I ticked the box for every cold-climate option that was available.

The Borders. We like Peebles, Galashiels, Melrose - the whole tweed valley.

We like Perth & Kinross too (Aberfeldy is lovely ) but we probably want to be south of the Forth since I'll almost certainly be working in Edinburgh.

Of course. You don't think I'd sell up down south and head up to Scotland with a big fat cheque for my equity if I couldn't live in the best bit, do you?
