>>>A great deal depends upon where you live and your circumstances.

Agreed. For me driving pleasure is a combination of the car, the skill of driving well, the scenery en route and the pleasure (hopefully) at the intended destination.

We don't live anywhere idyllic or snobby prestige but we are surrounded by countryside with A & B roads untroubled by traffic or speed cameras. Being retired I don't have to go anywhere particular at any particular time so naturally avoid the busier periods such than even a trip to town that would cause you to pull you hair out on a busy Saturday is fine mid am on Tuesday.

And were it legal or appropriate we live a 2min drive from a newer 4-lane stretch of the A1(M) should a 200mph car need testing.

I remember similar being asked about driving pleasure a decade or more ago on HJ with quite a bit of "can't enjoy it any more" grumping. Back then I said something like I can turn left or right from the end of the drive and either will be enjoyable.... that still stands.
