They have got to be driven

To Be honest I did not drive my car much last year due to several projects. Having amassed only 800miles last year i decided I would try and use the car more this year...
Yesterday being a beautiful day in the SE, I struggled to find a reason not to take the car out, so took it for a 40 mile blast to blow the cobwebs away.
Had a great time, with two things making me smile. first i had a 997 with a couple of guys in, drive along side for a couple of miles out of Hertford, with the window down checking out the old S, then as i was leaving the local BP station a girl popped out from behind a petrol pump to check the car out, when I spied her looking, she blushed and apologised and her boyfriend told her off for being nosy
What a great day, note to diary - Drive it more

The weather's been great the last couple of days. I took the '14 to work yesterday and again today. Every time I need to pop out I'm taking the very, very long route
Must take advantage of these last few lovely Autumn days guys!

You drove your car mate? Careful, remember you only bought it to polish it, not to use it
Did losing the cobwebs make it better

Couldnt agree more
I use my car as much as possible and 9/10 times i end up having a stop n chat, today I took it into central london for a meeting, two blokes in a 996 Targa pulled up next to me & gave me a nod of approval and a "nice"
Thanks very much I said, not as fast as yours
his reply...yeah but just look at it, now that's a beautiful car
and we both drove off, needless to say my smile was probably a lot bigger than his

well, the weather has been shite up here
But I agree .. these cars are all the better for being driven .. the fact you might be able to pick up good looking girls is of course an added benefit

I had mine out yesterday as well i haven't drove it for about five weeks
the temptation got the better of me because i did plan to lay her up for winter, that would mean i wouldn't drive it for four to five months

Well guys I did 135 miles this afternoon, took the long road back from Gleneagles and all for research for next year's Scottish Tour. Weather has been fantastic and the drive was great
