i found myself driving slower on the way back from my girlfriends last night, and they are some good country roads.

think its becuase i dont want to fill up again before i go on holiday.

but i did see a MG ZR that seemed to be speeding around the other day, so obviously i had to do the same :lol:

I think I've got worse recently!

Call me weird but I think it's down to my music. If I have nothing new to listen to I find myself just listening to my engine, so I drive alot faster. If I have something to listen to I'll turn it right up, but slow down because I can't hear my surroundings.
