I was reading the thread "Does your car have a personality effect on you ?" earlier and it took me back to a journey I went on years ago.
I helped a mate take some parts up near Edinborough setting off at 5am one morning, his intention was to take the A1 all the way.
On the way up I was studying the map and talked him in to going up the A1 onto the A696 and then A68 up through Jedborough with the journey ending in Dalkeith.
OMG what a journey, the scenery , the roads, you could see for miles in places and all I could think about at the time was borrowing something like a Lancia Y10 and giving it some welly all the way rather than being sat in a grubby transit pick up.
20 years on, older and wiser (well one of those comments is correct a least) and owning a V6 miggy the comments Marks DTM Calib made
No, I find that the music I listen to does....and what mood I am in.
I am always in Merc baiting mood and enjoy out cornering front wheel drive cars and watching them fight the understeer......other times is cruse on, stereo up, sunroof open and sun glasses on.... just took me back to thinking that a drive to Dalkeith would suit the miggy down to the ground, and then carry on up to Aberdeen to vist some relatives for a few days.
Allthough many years ago it is one of those roads I would love to experince in the right car and at the time I would of said a nice powerfull sports car, but now, It's gatta be a V6 Miggy.
Just wondering what to load in to the CD Changer for the trip.
