Stating why you are driving 200 miles?
Must be
Thread was clearly designed to aggravate people.
Man of Honour
My colleagues commute is 180ish miles round trip and mine is just over 100, it's not out of the realms of possibility that it could be a commute.
Don
I know - I had to make the decision to tell one of my staff to work from home, as although they would be more useful actually at work (and we work in food distribution so are classed as key workers), a 200 mile round trip commute is still pushing the "essential travel" in my opinion.
Soldato
Boy some people seem to think everyone can work from home unless you are a heart surgeon or something.
I wonder how the country is still running all those people that need feeding, electricity/heating supplied to homes, I guess it must be magic how it all continues.

Nope, it's not magic. Those people are just considered essential workers and their travel to/from work is consequently thus.
Going for a drive just because you're bored, isn't.
I pretty much did many posts back...
...I feel I fall within these guidelines
Haha not at all, didn't realise we had so many people so easily worked up

It’s 2020, the year people will get wound up over different coloured shoe laces.

I'm a tight arse so took the 911 to Sorn and the Aston is Sorn until the hot weather begins anyway so both 'fun' cars off the road until this sorts it self out, that leaves me with my F10 520d which isn't a huge deal of fun, I am still classed as an 'essential' worker but haven't yet needed to not work from home as of yet. Do miss going for a drive though!

Your OP reads like you're just driving around for fun. If that isn't the case then we're all ears.

As above really, Noble now declared SORN and down to my plucky little 182 for any essential driving (none really). Did have a fun little peddle of that to the supermarket and back the other day, felt faster than I remembered so can only imagine how insane the Noble will feel to drive again after all this time

Really now? OP states I'm driving 200miles frequently, and enjoying the empty roads. Anything else is an assumption on the readers part.
Beat me to it!
Soldato
Whilst I'd certainly be tempted right now for a blast, I'd still only do it on my way for essentials.
And the earlier assumptions aren't obtuse at all with morons everywhere. I've seen enough fools almost write their car off, that's before the roads started to look like an empty race track.
You must be pretty fit by now!
If the OP's race car does break down whilst say 40 miles from home..
But hey, speaking to some is like speaking to a brick wall. There's plenty I've heard going for a blast around here.

Depends if you have to push the car home or not

Because I don't want to state specifics to strangers online?
