I don't see the appeal of having a fancy car
I do an average 12,000 a year and I have had my licence since 1977.... and I have always felt the same.
A car is a box for sitting in while you go somewhere. they are all basically comfortable... all of them come with some sort of sound system.
as long as it's comfortable and reliable, and doesn't drink petrol like a scottish alcoholic, then great.

In my opinion there's no difference between a 'petrol head' and a stamp collector

I agree with you on this
I don't care for flashy or expensive cars. I prefer that mine is safe and reliable.

Yup, I choose my bangers on the basis of, in order,
legality
reliability
fuel economy.

A good-sized boot's attractive too.

Not arsed what it looks like or how fast it goes. My current crate has my first-ever car CD player. Luxury.

There is such a phenomenon as 'enjoying driving' though
but I admit that it's very difficult to do in the south of England.

I don't disagree
just saying it's not an activity I devote much time to

As long as you think the same way about clothes, then fair enough.

Comfy
After countless years wasting more money than you'd believe buying dearer, fancier ever more pointles wank chariots, im in complete accord (car gag).
The money I've spaffed on them would've bought me a holiday house in France (not kidding either - in one example i ordered from the factory a 3 series convertible, which i hated (ive never been more uncomfortable) kept it 3 months to the day, and the bastards gave me 3.5k less back for it. I could do loads of these.)
Meh.
I've now got a huge Volvo, which no one except me is fussed about, and my favourite things it turns out are, super comfy hot seats and a stereo like the front row of a (insert v. noisy band) gig. Sorted.
It drinks a bit though.
Whats wrong with Scottish alkies anyway? I kinda might be one a bit too
