Hello All,
Odd title for a thread? Potentially yes.
Right where do i start, so im 50 and cars( sporty ones) have been a big part of my life( 31 years driving).
Commuting to work, shopping, drives in country, track days, driving because ive always found it pleasurable ,basically i am a serious petrolhead.
But i sold my car( we still have the family one) and after 2 weeks looking on autotrader for the next sporty replacement i got thinking, a weird foreign thought entered my head ' do i really need a car?". I dismissed it, but it came back and i think that's why im here, not to ask for you to make that decision but to get thoughts of strange people( only kidding) like me who had bhp, fast acceleration, track days, loved driving ,all those petrolhead ingrained things who made similar transitions.
Now my commute would be 2.8mile ( 5.6 mile round trip), theres no cycle lanes, 35 seconds of it ( in a car ) is uphill, the rest is normal roads filled with normal,'get out of my way' commuter traffic .
Anyway its probably a very weird way to introduce myself so hi.
Thanks baly
