| Comment | Aside from obviously naff 'make your own gin' (aka spend 2 hours being sold gin), a good exemplar of what I'm talking about was a track session at Knockhill - in that it would have been a great present for someone, but was completely mis-chosen for me
I'm not into cars at any level beyond them being useful to getting between two points, and specifically I haven't driven a manual since 2003. So not only did I have to spend hours trapped in a car being shouted at by a 19-year-old petrolhead (my worst nightmare) but, rather than zooming around in an octane-fuelled adrenaline rush, it was basically reliving the agonies my first driving lesson
So in my case it was more of a 'destroy a hot hatch gearbox while being laughed at by neds' experience
Plus, as I say, having to take a day of annual leave and drive all the way across to deepest Fife and back, and not being able to enjoy a drink as any part of the experience....just not for me |
