Going out for a blast... how often?
Going out for a decent run, say between 50 and a 120 miler blast in your Scoob. Burning a fair proportion of a tank of V-Power, JUST for the drive.
How often do ya do it? Let's say for simplicity sake fair weather, car running fine permitting etc...?

Usually about once a month but sometimes more often. My family lives 150 miles away and it's a pretty good drive when you avoid all the motorways.

2-3 times a week for me. I get the feeling the government should be charging me a whole lot more for my road tax, based on the amount of CO2 I create...

Once every couple of weeks. It's the only time the car gets used. Sits in the garage the rest of the time.

I try to take it out for a blast once a week but sometimes that ends up being 30-40 miles if i am lucky.
Waste of a car and money really.

Night driving is something I should get more into. I always imagine there being animals in the road (badgers, rabbits and fox's and the like) that could be a hazard

I like the night driving as the roads where i am have a lot of undulations and bends, so difficult to see whats coming in daylight, but at night you can see the headlights so you can drive the racing line, and there are even less cars about and the air is cooler

Its also incredible what a difference it makes to how the car feels at the end of it. I am mainly town driving, but after a good drive its like a different car.

Scoob is the only car have not hit anything in at night, the noise scares them away i think so flat out turns out to be safest way for the bunnies

Best policy - let's face it if you tell the truth you'll only get found out in the end
