Anytime I'm riding my motorbike, or driving my car in a manner that I legally shouldn't, brings happiness.

So that's what all the fuss is about, I was wondering why Wagner was so popular recently, how disappointing.

Driving my VW Polo along the M4 listening to Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries on the wireless.

Is the M4 the one with the great route through mountains and great panoramic views, and not much traffic? Is that the bit you mean... if so +1.

Having a nice cold sweet fizzy drink when thirsty (or plain cold water if very thirsty and try not to swallow the cup), a meal when hungry, a wee or dump as required. Simple things really. Sleep is also great when you're tired.

M6 / A74?

The M4 goes due west from London giving access to such lovely places as Reading and Swindon.

Then there's the Severn Bridge which is invariably foggy (and only the English pay to cross it).

Through the speed traps and then it's Terry Wogan's hotel & golf course on the right (he may as well own it given how much advertising he gets them).

Then the fairytale castle then the 1920s art deco white house then - tada! - pretty little Port Talbot. WAKE UP OR YOU'LL CRASH ON THE BEND. Phew!

Then onto Swansea and I can't remember what comes next and then you're in HaverfordWest wondering how - and why - you got there because the M4 stopped about 40 miles ago near Llanelli.

Back on topic: on the return trip, once you've crossed the bridge, there's a long, long straight hill. Mrs RC would groan when, as we approached the hill, I pressed the Sports Mode button on the gearbox when driving her 4.0 litre Jag.

Driving up to a hill top village called Gourdon listening to "On Days Like These" by Matt Monro

(Think the opening scene of "The Italian Job" and the red Maserati...)
