Yeah Ive done this - loud music, cigarettes, and round the M25...
Done the M25 quite a few times just for the sake of it, just to get away from everything, just hurts when u fill up with 15-20quids worth of petrol, get back and the empty light is on

182, D2 Td5 & 840CI
I often do it after a w**k day at work!!!!! The longest i have been out is 2hrs
I often take mine out for a burn. Window open so I can hear the exhaust, heater on - country lanes at night so I can see if anything is on the road coming the other way [not likely to be horses, cyclists, pedestrians at night] - both sides of the road...rally sl*g. And yes I do drive within my own limits for those conditions
Pulling up on the drive a half hour later - getting out and smelling the brakes - walking away sloooowly and hearing the exhaust tinking as I lock the car.
RB182cup&golf gti
Used to do it all the time, dont so much now as cant afford the fuel! Used to drive miles, 100 mile trips out, cant beat a good old blast in the car!
LOL f**k yeah you godda have the vents pointing at your hands when driving in this weather with the window down. The 182 also sounds superb with the window up, for that rasping noise - depends on my mood. Damned Optimax is frickin dear though!
Im sure RS engineered that cooling exhaust tink. Probably had some geek who worked just on the noise of it cooling down
We have some superb driving roads near where I live...long twisting - short and tight - smooth - bumpy...the Clio just laughs and carries on going
I know a stretch really well where it gets bumpy just as Im on cam in 2nd...the car loses traction over the bumps/ripples. I have to snatch 3rd as I go over the bumps or the traction loss means hello rev limiter mid-air...3rd picks up just past the ripples and the road smooths out into a long windy strip with a long line of sight.....bwaaaa...shall I grab 4th? Its getting madly quick and a bend is coming up...back off...brake hard and grab 2nd again....hit the apex and bwaaaaaaa!
f**k yeah I go out for random burns
Often drive to Dundee in my bare feet....
I dont really know many decent driving roads, which is my fault really as theres loads in Mid Devon. I just tend to bottle my frustrations up until I pretty much break down. At the moment, I want a new car, a new job and a new place to live.....
A silver Honda
I do sometimes at night.
Find a good road, listen to some loud music.
Rocky 4 style lol.

have been known to go out when pissed off/ stressed etc. I legged it up the east kilbride road up my way after being majorly raging with a nite out (i was nominated driver - dont go there) had a full tank and tanned it around for about an hour and also took in a road off pollokshaws roundabout which leads up to darnley, very scary in the dark and pushes your skills to the max. This when utter raging is best avoided but i went for it anyway full beam fog lights and it was still well dark.
Shell station at the roundabout was paid a visit after it and ok it was £20 but worth it to feel better, plus redlined car outside house at idle when i came back in at 2am.
sounds awesome and kicks at 7grand silly i know but stress relief!!!!!!i second all that im the same i luv just goin for a blast! i thought i was the only 1 just to go out for pointless drives and window down music up and just luv it when other people look at ur car
as iv luv to go out when i just spent hours washing it......
Pointless drives are ace, i havent been on one since i first passed, mainly cos ive been skint, and owed people money.
Its the best stress relief, there are some awsome roads near my house, i live near the Yorkshire/Lancashire border (half way between Clitheroe and Settle) and some of the roads near my house are awsome.
Mission off out about 11pm, come back past my house almost on limiter (house is on a fast s-bend) at about 12, then arrive back at about 1am. My dad asks "that you going past like a nob?" ..
I think a pointless mish is in order when i get paid. 2 weeks Tuesday my little bro passes, so ill prolly be going for a few then.
