Flying car and mine is the only one.

A nice new Jaguar XKR with free servicing and petrol. Oh and the sense to drive the thing safely.
Damn. Who asked this silly question. I like my Ka. :)

A summer's morning, a clear motorway .........
Try the A75 AutoRoute down the western side of France. Beautiful scenery, straight roads, smooth surface, nowone else in sight .... plus it is mainly free. I do this run about twice a year and it is a terrific drive. I know it is motorway, but it is somehow different!
Slightly OT I know, so sorry! Y

Not off-topic at all, Yoby.

Been there and done it!
# 1: Candyapple Red Mustang V-8 c. 1966 convertible with Growlette in the RH seat in baby doll tee and cut off denims and Best Of The Ronettes playing on the (aftermarket) cassette:
# 2: 120 mph for six hours straight in a Holden Monaro V-8
across the Barclay Highway in N. Queensland, with only 4 other vehicles seen during that time.
It's about V-8's (or V-Twins if it's a bike).

Mine is much more humble. It is that I would wake one morning, and find my Citroen AX TGD is resorted to factory default settings, and everything in it that is wrong ?that included exhaust, shocks, mounts, bodywork, tracking, steering, oil leak, clutch, alarm, wiper, injectors, drive shaft (knocking for months now), wiring, seats (the seats in my car `free float? that is to say when I accelerate, unless I hang on to the steering wheel, the driver?s seat will do a summersault), oh, and not mention brakes- is all fixed by the car mechanic wish fairy. (come to think of it, I am amazed it?s got an MOT). That way, when I press the acceleration pedal on the car, I won?t have to pray that I don?t see the wheels going past me or that the car halves into two and my bottom is scraping the road. There you go, that?s my motoring utopia. In case you are wondering why I am stuck with this marvel of French technology, how about because I am a student. (and the classical implication on my bank account).

So how much of the time were you driving and how much of the time were you standing beside a petrol pump?
My utopia, would be to have the roads half as full with people driving in the correct lane and the speed limit to be raised to 80/85 mph so you can make decent progress without worrying about being collared by the cops.

Stopped thrice as I recall whether tank empty or not. Out there in the woop-woop you stop EVERY time you see a pump, cos they tend to be few and far between.
