I enjoy a long distance driving holiday once in a while, driving solo and either just enjoying the quiet or listening to some decent music or comedy on the in car entertainment.
The last major trip was taking my old banger across Germany last year, I think about 2500 miles in two weeks. I visited bits I'd not been to before and
I'm off to the West Coast USA tomorrow with SWMBO for three weeks, we're doing the tourist route and all the tourist traps and will probably clock up in excess of 2000 miles. That should be fun, and relatively cheap to boot!!
And lastly I am loving driving my Ampera. It is so quiet in electric mode, and nippy with it (and of course cheap to run, if you keep within electric range). Our town is currently riddled with major roadworks and delays to get anywhere, but the car is about the smoothest and most enjoyable ride I've owned for years, and I don't even mind (up to a point!) sitting in traffic in it.
