The rising price of fuel has actually given me the perfect opportunity to do something I thought I would never do. For the more mundane weekly commuter duties I have resumed using public transport a few times a week now or using an economical practical vehicle to go to the office. I have to admit I’m not one to focus too much on the cost of fuel being a performance car enthusiast.

I’ve found the whole experience quite interesting so far. The GT has become that special car again that I really look forward to driving on occasion and on the weekend. I no longer worry about where it’s parked and what obstacles I will need to negotiate with it in the city. The money I save during the week I now spend on the weekend driving it for fun instead of weekly commuter duties.
