When was the last time you went for a drive just for the pleasure of it.
Mine was tonight, I fired up the nice XM and went country laning for half an hour just for fun.
It was great...

I enjoyed the drive to Milton Keynes if that counts?

Lots of really memorable drives, by Rover P6 V8, BX and XM, including
- Running down the A832 from Achnasheen (Inverness-shire) towards Loch Marie, and to the sea
- The gradual uphill climb from Crianlarich and Tyndrum, up over Rannoch Moor, and down through Glencoe
- The top end of the Isle of Skye: The Quiraing and The Old Man of Storr
- The Millau Bridge, SW France - 'the most beautiful bridge in the world' - and all roads French, in general
- For the brave, the Stelvio Pass, out of N.Italy
- Any of the country lanes, leading to The Bottle and Glass, Henley-on-Thames
- ...and the road Home

I do sometimes go out for a nice drive, but it depends on the car.
Often the only use the XM and the C15 have is a run out for the sake of driving them
However Im using the Xm this week for my commute, thought I would while the weather is nice.
The Activa is the same, though I do sometimes use it for commuting its really wasted on the boringly straight roads so I rarely use it. Its nice to get it out onto some good twisties and give it a workout.
I do take the 2cv out for a drive because its a lot of fun but in a very different way to the Activa
I never just go out for a drive in my C5, I do like driving it but do around 18-20K a year in it anyway, so im in that enough.
