7 Reasons Why Petrolheads Prefer Night Drives Over Clubbing On Saturdays

1. Clubbing means less money for car parts

Students spend over £650 on nights out every year. That’s enough to pay for a set of fully adjustable coilovers or the nice wheels that your car truly deserves.

2. The only STI you want has AWD and 276bhp

Clubs are designed for dancing. Dancing occasionally leads to sex. Sex has three letters. STI has three letters. 3-3 = 0. The chances that your date has a clean bill of health = 0…Illuminati confirmed.

3. You still get to pull

Have you ever pulled a hydraulic handbrake? It’s a lot of fun! Definitely more fun than wasting money on booze for your ungrateful friends.

4. The police are otherwise engaged...

Much of police resources go on clearing up the mess made by drunkards. This means that you’re less likely to be slapped on the wrist when you try to perfect your heel-and-toe on a quiet stretch of road.

5. You get to spend quality time with your ride and think about life

“When was the last time you went for a drive? Not to anywhere. Not for anything. Just to go for a drive…This is brilliant. No phone, no kids, no interruptions. Time to think. Time to work stuff out. Just me in my little metal shell.” - Jeremy Clarkson

6. You actually get to make friends

Evening car meets are great for letting off some steam and meeting some likeminded enthusiasts. There are no bouncers, queues or expensive entrance fees.

7. You're fresh in the morning, ready for another day of being awesome

There is nothing worse than a bad hangover, followed by logging into your internet banking to check last night’s statement. Save yourself the trouble. Go for a drive.
