'Seems that I was busy doing something close to nothing
But different than the day before'
'Met a dwarf that was no good, dressed like Little Red Riding Hood'
'Now you're unemployed, all non-void
Walkin' round like you're Pretty Boy Floyd'
That's the one. Two lanes of lorries going at 60 and 61 miles per hour and one lane of cars doing 90+. Ugh.
I hate motorway driving unless it's empty. Every moment feels like a battle to stay alive (and awake) while trying, as you say, to get off it as soon as possible. Coming back from Cornwall the other week, and the M5 was getting too congested so we came off and drove through Somerset. Glorious drive past Glastonbury and lovely countryside, then back on the motorway near Swindon for the grind back into town.
Had some ****ing clown pull out in front of me today doing 70mph and slowly overtaking. I was probably doing 90 or so but had to slam the anchors on. ****ing moronic driver with no spatial awareness.
As you say, cars are too fast. Mine will happily sit at 120 and is quiet, smooth, stable. If you couldn't see the speedo you would think it was 80.
Exactly the same with that £800 beemer we had. It seems like it's kms but it's really mph.
We've only had a few cars. All the rest were total ****ters. £140 318i, a 1.1l hatchback for a few hundred. We drove round Europe in our Ford Cargo truck for years. £1,500. Top speed of 55mph. Great living vehicle. Raised double bed, Ikea settee, and we paid someone to build in a fitted kitchen and wood burner. Battery with AC inverter for lights and plug sockets.
You wouldn't have woried about us pulling out in front. Slow lane only.
