Cal670 Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Not to get to anywhere, or to get something or for any reason really. Just get in your car and go for a drive for fun and pleasure. One of my very favorite things to do, and it can help take things off your mind for a bit if you just enjoy driving as much as I do. Can't beat it when it's sunny, plus there's an empty country road. Who else takes their Celica for a spin when the mood just takes them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUToyota Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 All the time...I'm retired..! I try to get out several times every week just for the enjoyment of driving the car.! It's no doubt why I've had to increase my limited mileage policy twice now. Neil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thermoacc Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 It's 100% the only reason I have the Celica. A late Sunday night blast has been a favourite since I started driving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cravo Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 I used to when I was younger at night just go for a nice drive down some back roads with some music on. Just enjoying the ride really not hooning it or thrashing just leisurely. Don't do it as much these days but it catches you unaware sometimes when you're driving somewhere and realise how much you just love driving.

GreyRacer Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Reduced my Celica mileage to about a 1/4 of what I used to do on the road. Tend to just track now regularly and use the MX-5 when I want to drive and going nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Askari Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 I don't often go out just for a drive - but I quite often extend a journey for another purpose, just for the pleasure of driving. My trip home from work takes me from junction 2 on the M5 to junction 3 - but if I keep going to junction 4 or 5, there's a great cross-country drive back.

Paulus3476 Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 A few of us, just a few weeks ago, went for a 2 day - 700 mile drive, around North Wales. It was fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheltGirl Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 I do occasionally like to take the car out on a lovely day and see where I end up. I just love driving my Celica for the fun of it! Usually keep a look out for a nice spot as a photo opportunity, or make a mental note to go back when there's more time or a dramatic sky. Taking your car out gives a tremendous feel-good factor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabbaranx Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 I used to do this all the time, used to pick a road and just drive with some good music on, almost ended up in Wales once and didn't even realise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daytona Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Yup! Usually sunny evenings along one of the coast roads................
