I expect HPC members to see driving as an art, in which they continuously strive to improve. Many people see driving as a chore or a job of work, and this difference in attitude is significant but hard to quantify its effect.

You've been in the passenger seat (admittedly snoring on one occasion) with a number of HPC members and 'tearaway' is about as far from the truth as you can get. Take your stick out of the pot...

Never quite understood the negative connotations of "badge collector". If you like doing something and one of the outcomes of your hobby/infatuation is a badge/certificate, then so be it!
