Hi, my name’s Chris and welcome to Driving Spirit.

When I started this blog I had the intention of writing about one of the passions in my life and that, as you may have guessed, is cars.

After a few posts about supercars it became apparent that I wasn’t offering anything new to the internet, and so I decided to focus on one particular aspect of motoring … affordable fun.

Supercars are fantastic pieces of automotive art, but for 99.9% of us they’re just dream cars. They’re cars we only get close to at motor shows or racing events, but will never own unless we happen to pick up that winning lottery ticket.

However, at the other end of the scale is a different world of cars that we can truly aspire to own but that can still provide great entertainment. Whether it be on a quiet B-road blast or on a track day, there are loads of cars available today that can offer great performance and that you can buy without having to take out a second mortgage.

So, that’s what Driving Spirit is about. Souped-up superminis, hot hatches, sports saloons, cars that can give a keen driver a bit of a buzz. No more supercars, I’ll leave that to the other blogs out there. Don’t get me wrong, I still adore Ferrari’s and Porsches and I might be lucky enough to find myself with that lottery win, but until then I’m living in the real world.

Happy motoring!
