 Driving Pleasure ? - Mike Hannon
I used to enjoy driving but not any more. It's just a chore these days, even with the Accord and the XJS.
We used to enjoy visiting the UK but not any more. The experience of the past few years in the Westcountry has done for that. Last year, while walking on the coast near Clevedon we met a man walking his dog. He told he had set out that morning from Nailsea - a spit up the road - intending to to to Torquay. After three hours on the M5 he said he gave up at Weston. What we used to think were half-hour or two-hour drives in the UK can now take two hours or half a day. This year we didn't even bother to go.
I suppose, to be fair, it's not all bad. We now have a 'barn find' 1967 Fiat 500 as well, which is a bit of a laugh on the roads round here and seems to make other people smile as well.
