It starts off self-deprecating enough, but ends up basically being snidey about people who like cars.

I find those people who 'like cars' to be among the dullest, most tedious people on the planet and the general subject of "cars" is something I run a mile from.

On the other hand, I bloody love my car, will often just go and look at it out the window and nothing sorts my head out like a long country drive.

Get an M5 and stick an 'M5 RIC' plate on it. Then when another recession hits sell the car and buy a 520 diseasel but keep the number plate. I've seen plenty of them about :hehe:

remember and I was in love with everything about it, as I recall.

I remember helping him dig it out of snow with a little plastic spade that would bow under the weight of the snow.

Oh, to be young again :cry:

That said, the M6 looks bloody nice. An M anything is usually a good choice

The concept of a leisurely drive for the sake of it. Driving is (for me) for getting from point A to point B when you have a specific reason to be at point B.

And I do not like being a passenger when another person is driving so invariably I am the c**t at the wheel.

You know what it's like, go north out of my place and you're basically in the dales or the north york moors, though I dont mind a good long motorway drive either.

I cannot abide being a passenger though.

Nissan Micra/Campervan and there is no place to overtake. At this point I lose my f**king ****.

it.

I love cricket, for instance, and am pretty knowledgable about it, but will back away very quickly from the sort of person who can quote last year's County Championship averages at me.

Any enthusiasm will attract bores. Football is no different as it seems to me that when you start banging on about inverted triangles and false nines - or discussing the Erdivisie - you may have crossed a dangerous borderline. The only difference is that it's considered more socially acceptable to be a football bore.

I'm sure you no longer take such an interest now you're in a different racket, do you?

I'm very aware that this isnt the right place to bang on about football, I'm not confusing it for a football message board or anything.

And you and I both know that this board is at its least interesting when people start discussing actual football.

The only difference is that one of them wouldve been a bit mean.

Oh, and I agree.
