alexavfc Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Pointless drives are great, but the price of fuel means I don't really do it anymore <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyEssex Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 pointless drives are no good unless we get pics after you been on them how about we name some towns so if you go on a pointless drive your aim is to get a photo of you and your fiesta next to the town name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DONFRAMAC Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Pointless drives are great, but the price of fuel means I don't really do it anymore <_< I'm old enough to get a free bus-pass, but I still burn petrol just to run-in my 11 month old Fiesta Zetec, and boot it once hot, on A-roads, got 5000 revs yesterday, on a 220 mile round trip for its 12 month service. ( less than 4000 miles on the odometer ). Best MPG is 40, on A-roads; 36-38 on average, with 1.25 Zetec 5 dr. Horsing it yesterday gave me 37.5 MPG.

PeteGlover Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Theres plenty of great country roads near me (In Woodford, North London) Randomly driving about is great! Although I manage to burn up alot of my wages on fuel even though she's only a 1.25. She goes everywhere with me =P... or do I go everywhere with her o_O Had some scary times though too... Spinning her round... getting stuck in a muddy field all night, sliding into a bush on ice after going round a 60mph bend at 20mph lol. Is it the random drives you all love? Or is it the cars you drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DNStuff Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 There's this wonderful road through the woods near where I live that will take you from Broxbourne right through to Hatfield and it's usually pretty empty. It snakes left and right pretty much the whole way and the road rises and falls on hills too. It used to be my commute to work. I hated the job, but the commute almost made it worth it :) It was only about 20 minutes each way but I think that is the ideal time really. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?hl=en&...307274&z=12 This one.
