    yeah I go for drives for fun, but usually find some shopping to do while i'm out , like going to a favourite fruit shop 30 k's away or something like that.

    Only when I need to really. I do over 1000km's a week, so going out for a drive for the sake of it isnt so appealing. BUT sometimes Ill drive with little reason, like driving 2+ hours each way to get good mexican food with a friend lol.

    Allllll the time. Well not so much anymore but whenever I'm feeling annoyed/angry/upset whatever I will.

    Have had many many of these drives, lismore and back from brisbane on a school night.

    We often drive to surfers and back for no reason after midnight.

    Often go on localish (50km) cruises late at night or early morning more like it.

    Just can't beat it. Tunes and driving when no one else is out best way to clear your head. Haven't got tunes at the moment but 5 speed is all the tunes I need really.

    I sure do. Went for a 3.5 hour drive with a mate last night just for the hell of it to find a few nice spots for some pics.
    Often go for random 3am drives if I can't sleep, or just take the long way if I'm going on a long trip

    Love yelling "going for a drive!" and jumping in the car for a few hours. It's honestly one of the few enjoyable things left. There's nothing like it, noone can get to me when im out on the road.

    Never, but I make sure I get a bit of good old fashioned "hooning" in while going somewhere I have to go . Oh yeah going to the drags is a "have to go" place

    Often the driving bug hits me when I'm really bored usually the weekend, but yeah It's good when you work long days and have a bit of cash in your pocket.

    Have motorbikes for "the sake of it" drives, but on the random occasions someone hands me the keys of a car worth driving, a good lap of mt nebo/glorious mt mee etc to chase down the motorbikes is always on the cards.
