Why I love... CONVOYS

There’s a peculiar moment when, driving in formation with your mates, the rush kicks in. No longer are you Joe Bloggs trundling down the motorway. This is much more grandiose.

You're Burt Reynolds making a break for the border, Luke Skywalker charging at the Death Star. No matter how flamboyant the cars, the scenery or the driving, there’s just something about a convoy that gets my ticker going. Somehow, sharing in the experience - mundane as it could well be - amplifies its enjoyability several times over. Perhaps a great deal of it comes down to the feeling of safety we humans get from travelling in a pack, no doubt passed down from our prehistoric forebears.
