I love driving. Not just fast, but well. I used to relish the regular IAM driving assessments that we used to have to have at work if driving on business and I used to get good marks too. I love the challenge of driving well, of anticipating, of reading the road, of picking the best lines, of keeping stress out of it and simply passing through other people's lives with minimal impact. I love driving a favourite road when it's quiet and dry, I love towing a caravan, I love making best progress through a town or city by reading the road, reading other drivers' behaviours, anticipating traffic lights, picking the best lane to be in. I love coaxing the best out of a vehicle, be it best performance for the situation, best efficiency, best comfort. I used to go 'out for a drive' all the time as a younger person, just to be immersed in the thing I loved doing and was increasingly good at.
Now I don't drive just for fun, but I still make sure to enjoy the driving I have to do and will sometimes choose a route based on the fun and pleasure it will give me rather than the time or distance it covers. I also ride a motorbike now and almost all of my miles on that are recreational.
I know I am not alone - the whole car 'cruise' scene is this. Car meets. Car enthusiast gatherings. Not weird, just not for everyone.
