Maybe that's another type of "driving withdrawal".
I get “Officestafobic” when in the office on a nice day, as I KNOW there are some
Awesome roads out there waiting to be driven.. Maybe I should take up flying for some more fun!

Strange feeling for sure. It is nice to be able to do all you need to do on foot & by bike though.
I do 320 a week for work, last week was 590 on the golf, and another 250 on the 328i

Luckily we can walk to the supermarket etc, and I’m looking at getting a bike for exercise

Alas, I work 32 miles from home, with no usable and cheap public transport between locations..
I do car share 2 days a week though
plus, I LOVE driving!
