On the M1 motorway with my OH in our new car, on a drive for the afternoon.

Mam of 4 · 23-05-2021 5:00pm

Safe driving in the new car Jupiterkid, enjoy

Just after dinner , am stuffed, but I've just remembered I have apple tart and icecream, think I may wait a bit though :pac:

23-05-2021 5:35pm

Enjoy the new wheels Jupiter

I was in the shops. Two Guards were standing outside the front doors, sentry like. A fella went to walk in the 'wrong' and door and was quickly and brusquely told 'hey that's the wrong door go in the right one'.

And I just thought

That's what life has become.

Mentally preparing myself for another busy week, hopefully, it'll go ok.

This week has been a strange one, I've been coming and going a lot between my apartment and my folk's house (and a trip to cork).

Autosport · 23-05-2021 6:53pm

Apple tart sounds lovely Mam

I’ll slide the plate over

Diamonds you know my door is always open to you whichever way you enter

Gremlinertia · 23-05-2021 6:57pm

Jupiter, safe and happy travels, what did you get? I'm a curious little bint sometimes!

Trundling here after a crappy sleep.

Oh yes JK what car did your OH get

and Happy Motoring!!!

Am I the only person here who has never sat behind the wheel of a car in his life & doesn't give a jot about cars?

Leg End Reject · 23-05-2021 7:22pm

I'm far from a petrol head but I'd be lost without my car, nothing like hopping in and tootling off somewhere on a whim.

The weather is seriously getting to me now, leaves and bits of twigs all over the garden and the grass needs to be cut, but the whole area is like a swamp. Summer me arse!

You wanna talk about the weather and the garden????:mad: I actually hate cutting grass. I only do it to keep people happy. Don't like the grief I get. My daisies are up and it's starting to look a bit long. I had gaps in the weather to cut it this weekend, but I said, fook it. No interest. Walked it yesterday and with all the wind lately, there's twigs all over the place. You know the drill. They all have to be picked up before you cut it. Like you, it's a bog after all the feckin rain anyway. If the weather continues like this the grass can go to F....:D

Nope! Although, I did do lessons many moons ago, before i knew I had dyspraxia. The last thing i said to the instructor was "I'm never getting behind the wheel of a car again!". I wish I could drive,though. Me and Grumpy would have so much more freedom if I could drive. I'd bring him somewhere different in Kerry everyday and every sunny day we'd be at a beach.

My 74 year old mother never learned to drive or swim. She considers both as her biggest regrets for a variety of reasons. Even driving close to water scares her. My heart goes out to Mrs G who hasn't driven since her stroke in 2017. She really wants to but the way back is long and expensive. Being able to drive and having a car has so many many advantages. But you can survive without it in fairness.

Oh, you can! But life is much easier in places with public transport than it is here. I'm really limited for employment (when the time comes). When I lived near Dublin, I didnt know myself! People moan about Dublin Bus, etc, but I had more freedom than I ever had. Any spare day I was on the bus, train, tram or all three. Sometimes I was just exploring.

Gremlinertia · 23-05-2021 8:28pm

Driving is unworkable for me, would love to drive again but licence is lapsed, don't need to for work and the expense completely rules it out.

Gremlinertia · 23-05-2021 8:35pm

^^ Ah wow how happy looking is Mutt??

23-05-2021 8:45pm

Driving. I started to learn when I was 17 but didn't take to it so was about 23 when I gave it another go. I was a very very nervous driver and truly felt like I'd never get it. To this day there are things I do badly. Like I can never park on the kerb outside our house without also going on to the grass, parking straight between two white line is a challenge and I'm rubbish at reversing in to a spot. The nerves are completely gone though which is probably a bad thing.

It's never too late though. If I learnt anyone can

Gremlinertia · 23-05-2021 10:08pm

Tell you something though i'd feckin hate traffic, already stomp at imaginary pedals on the bus

Nope, proud (Leap)card carrying member of the no-car club here as well

Tried getting a license back in Germany in 2006, but it didn't work out. Frustration tolerance was too low. Stuck to public transport, walking, or cycling ever since.

Tableside, just finished a mug of hot chocolate to go with the "lovely" weather outside. Can someone please extend the weekend by five days?

Autosport · 23-05-2021 10:26pm

No public transport anywhere near me so had no choice in learning to drive if I ever wanted to go anywhere but I love driving and always have

I was a complete girl racer

Now preparing myself for the week ahead

Mutt looks so happy and content

Gremlinertia · 23-05-2021 10:29pm

Oh i loved driving, was on the road a lot up until i left home

23-05-2021 10:31pm

Couchside, browsing carzone.

Same Auto/Grem: I LOVE LOVE LOVE driving, always did. Was driving my father's automatic in my early teens (semi-sanctioned), my mother's manual by my late teens (definitely unsanctioned) and got my own car at 21, waaaaaay before I could afford it. Have had at lot of cars I couldn't afford since just cos I loved them... Bit of a heavy foot back in the day, caught a few tickets here and there and got a few stern talkings to from various concerned friends, members of law enforcement

For me cars have always represented freedom and independence and hanging with friends and listening to music and in the US the ability to just go anywhere and see anything (cheap gas culture...).

Now I have trusty oldie, old but with pedigree as they say :pac: But with more freedom to move again might be finally worth considering an upgrade at some point this year.

Anyway, I feel a rewatching of Bullitt or Ronin coming up fast

Gremlinertia · 23-05-2021 10:34pm

Might go find some rallycross videos to remind me of my 'style' of driving from fado :pac:

Autosport · 23-05-2021 10:37pm

Bullitt is some film

I love Fast and Furious films as the cars in them are drool some
