Boot it at every possible opportunity

I do and am happy to admit it.What's the point otherwise?Every single time I get the chance to drop a gear and floor it I do.Have done for a year and three months and will do it till it goes.Don't tell me anyone fafs around with a fun car

All safe situations.Not irresponsible driving but just gives me a cheesy grin.Pointless thread really because I cant think of many of you who would be dawdlers. Only reason I thought of this was the classifieds and 'not raced or rallied' rubbish. Maybe not that but course (ahem..for some of us) they have all had some stick though surely.

So,Sunday driver or squeeze the buggery out of the car when you can? (those in the process of selling their car will obviously maintain radio silence on this)

I drive like a nob (within the conditions) until I hit the last 1/4 of a tank!!

At that point it is not uncommon to see mid-50s mpg. Saw 59.9 the other night till some fool decided he had turn to go to his house instead of going in my direction - down to 58 :thumbdwn:!

I generally drive pretty swiftly, and too enjoy giving it a good blat when I'm in the mood (more and more often than my wallet would like!).

On other occasions though, I find it just as satisfying to drive gently and see 55+mpg on the instant dash display thing...

Averaged 43mpg so far, so I'm dead impressed. If it was a typical 2 litre or similar I doubt I'd see the right side of 30mpg!

At the end of the day, its designed to be driven. Whats the point in not using all the features you paid for?

Nice Acceleration ( say no more )

My journey to work allows the engine to get up to temperature 1 mile before the office (at which point I'd slow down to let it cool). Sadly this means I dawdle to work every day.

This does mean I have a great excuse for a brisk blat on a sunny evening just for the hell of it!

Slow sunday driver here.

[stands up] Hi, my name's Jason, and I'm a bootaholic. [sits down again]

Any chance I will try and use max throttle... But then its all about my mood / frame of mind at the time too.

If i know i can get a certain place in 15 minutes i'll leave exactly 15 minutes before (on a good day).

If i dont drive quickish or something out of the blue happens i will be in trouble for not being on time.

I guess its a bad habit

i have had a digital accelerator fitted to my, saves the wasted 1/2 throttle positions

I do wait until my oil is warm - then it gets a kicking. However i do look after my cars. They often get prematurely serviced and i like to have them valeted all the time.

I tend to warm it up a bit first, then go for it a bit to get onto the A34 safely, usually get stuck on that for a while, then M4 time. Depends a lot on the traffic whether it's safe to boot it a bit or not, not worth risking it.

Way home is more of the same just the other direction. I will have a bit of fun sometimes though - mainly in the sense of that nice midrange kick when the queues clear
