I was wondering what to say to reply to the question. Lucky enough in my old age to be able to afford most cars I might fancy, I cant think of one that really interests me. The Ferrari has gone without a back ward glance - lovely machine though it was, there is no way that it can be used in the way that it was designed to be used in the UK. Even in Wales where there are some attractive roads, you just get stuck behind white van man following say a bread van. You can only "make progress" as the police manual puts it on a motorcycle and that I have also given that up for safety's sake. Speed is the fun and speed is no longer possible because of road quality and congestion even if it were legally allowed.
Without doubt the best days were in the 60s with no maximum speed limit, no cameras , and plod in the Morris Minor that you could outrun in anything half decent. Roads were empty and you could average point to point the same or higher speeds that you can nowadays and that was with maybe 100 bhp on A roads cross country compared with x00 bhp nowadays on the motorway
Time to move on. At least in my boat there are no police, rules are replaced by common sense, no potholes, no cameras, and even on bank holidays no congestion. Freedom!
