Default Early evening blast just for the hell of it?

When did you last take your Scooby out on your own just for the hell of it? I don't mean visiting friends, driving to the pub, McDonalds, retail car-park, church, ******* or whatever else you like to get up to. I just mean you and your car setting off for a spirited country drive on a route that leads you right back to where you started from; i.e. home.

There's no other point to it other than your own selfish enjoyment and to burn up some more fossil fuels.

I did it yesterday. Felt great and diced with another random Scoob for good measure!

Not done this for a while. Last time I did this I was in my Mini Cooper S. Was a late night journey. Might not be as fast as my subaru but just as much fun on bendy country roads. Like a little go kart.

Although I kind of feel like doing this now to get away from every thing.

Thumbs up

Its been a while, but yes I have done a few of these, always feel better afterwards

After all, its what we buy these cars for in the first place, to leave it on the runway is a bit like having a beer fridge and never using it

Love these drives. Especially when it's a spur of the moment thing when your alone - at dusk just as the sun is dipping, nice open country road, window down with the roar of wind and exhaust note bellowing in to the drivers cabin. Mmmm bliss
