When was the last time you went for a drive!

Top Gear last night and J.C. asked the question. He said people don't do it cos our roads are crowded, petrols expensive and most cars are boring to drive. He then took the CLK 'black' to Wales. Some car - some price :cry:

So when was the last time you went for a drive just for the sheer fun of it?

'Evo' triangle for me last weekend :thumbsup: . 42 miles of empty superb roads and scenery (went round both ways), and a little rain to 'spice up' the corners a little :D
 
About two hours ago if you ignor the fact it was to check tyre pressures :P
Or Sunday evening last week after the wind finaly died down a bit, I had been itching to go out for a drive all weekend. My Z4 is new to me though, so I have new toy syndrome :rofl:
 
Last weekend...went to Leavenworth and Ft Leavenworth. They wouldn't let me on the base as I had a weapon in the car. No weapons on government property...remember that!
 
Yesterday. :driving: Not the best run but not bad and I rediscovered this awesome road that I couldn't remember where it was before. Traffic was bad on it the way I was going though. :thumbsdown: Saw an Elise going the other way having a much clearer run, lucky bugger.

Dumass!!! :rofl:


P.S. I take my baby for a drive EVERY day!!! 32 fun miles to work and 32 crazy awesome miles home! I'm starting to feel guilty that I'm having so much fun with my Savannah and the COPS haven't gotten me yet :evil: :P

WLH!!! Why didn't you call me??? :poke: (I was busy of course)

You got CAUGHT?
 
I like to take detours either going to or coming home from work. I'll add anything from a couple miles to as much as 10, usually winding roads through the mountains. I did almost 300 miles a couple weekends ago because the opportunity presented itself.
 
Did 4 hours in the Santa Monica mountains on Saturday. Have a 2,800 miler coming up in late August ( one way ).

Nah, would have been in real trouble if I didn't tell them. Conceal/Carry is legal in KS but not on a Federal installation. I told them at the gate, they looked at it and said they will not hold it (while I'm on post) so I had to turn around. No biggee. They thanked me for being upfront and told me to come back anytime...w/o my weapon. Tis cool.
 
Yesterday! I took a run up a couple of canyons here outside of Salt Lake City. Nice roads with lots of twisties.. Unfortunately, the traffic was moving so slow with no place to pass, I did most of the ride in 2nd gear. :headbang: It was still nice though, the last time I went up one of these canyons I had to put the top up. :x
 
I used to envy you guys who live in areas of the world where the sun shines all the time. But this weekend I took a nice long drive in the Zed with the wife. It was sunny and hot, well for us it was hot. It hit 96 here at my house. :tumbleweed: Anyway I put the top down and we took off. Even with the top down and the air on, it was too damn hot for me. I could not imagine living in a place like Phoenix or Las Vegas with that kind of heat. Would probably have to wait for the Winter. Anyway we did have a great time, but the wife kept muttering to herself, “ when are you going to grow up?” “When are you going to grow up?” :D Love my Zed ragtop anyway.
 
Went away Sunday for a trip around the Owen Sound area with views of Georgian Bay. Forgot to take my camera....

It's July 1st tomorrow and is Canada Day! I think I may do the same thing but with my camera! :oops:
