I can't drive, and am not really interested in learning, but there are two things that do interest me about doing so:
1. Tunes. Getting onto the sliproad of the motorway, being about to join, and that tune coming on, putting the pedal to the floor and racing away.

2. Having a festival van. Go with me on this - I'm not a bloody hippy, but I do fancy the idea of getting an old removal lorry, and decking out the back of it in absolutely 1950s living room style - wallpaper, a sofa, a standard lamp, a drinks cabinet, armchairs, pictures on the walls, carpet, a table, ashtrays and preferably an old stereogram unit like my dad had. On this last I shall play dub and reggae tunes at top volume, with the doors wide open, while we sit in armchairs on the elevator, smoking, drinking champagne and chatting with friends in the summer sun.

well at least you don't need to learn to drive for the second one!

Actually, the first one is a fantastic feeling.
I do it all the time, and if you time it right it's bloody brilliant.

Also, pulling up outside your house exactly at the same time as a song finishing is also a very satisfying feeling - it's like having your own theme tune!

I had the same idea with the van
And bought an old Birtish Gas Ford Transit. Absolutely amazing for going surfing, festivals, etc.
