The Motorists
Its all about the drive...
And, if the journey can be done again, but faster - then all the better.
We all start as motorists; all of us who can sit behind the wheel, operate the controls to set out from one point and reach another. However, we are of a type - and our type is that one clichéd group who are known by that old chestnut, "it's all about the journey, and not the destination". And on the journey, your car may fail you - and then, we will find out who amongst us the motorists, and not just the drivers..!
In those glorious, glorious years from about 1918 to about 1990, cars all threw up challenges that might put a hurdle between the driver and the destination, and for a great many there might've been cause to know how to set the hurdle out of the way; repair the fault, continue on one's way! The cars of that time might also have been susceptible to changes in the road surface, and conditions that one encountered on the journey thus, the driver might well have needed to adapt their skills to compensate. Then of course, the final and possibly the most important part;
The motorist, in any period and at any time might well have desired that the journey be covered quickly. More quickly perhaps than was absolutely necessary?
The sport of driving is at the heart of all, true motorists. Surely it must be? A car designed with the sole intent of being fun, accommodating a driver, and one passenger - a pair of "motorists", and a little bit of luggage for each of them, just enough that a trip spanning a few days could be catered for. Perhaps some scant protection from the elements (remembering that the elements could change), and perhaps some tools and spare wheel for if there was cause, the motorists could attend to the car's failure by repairing it and then continue on the jolly journey. And if the journey was to wind itself around a mountain, all the better. Encounter a sweeping plain, a coastal highway or a forest-lined, sweeping b-road; there would be nothing but fun.
The definition of the "motorist" isn't fixed, but for us the Motorist is that person; he or she who selects the car for its merits, puts up with its foibles, and repeatedly sets out for the journey, if not only the destination. And, if the journey can be done again, but faster - then all the better.
