Well, that all depends on what your dreams are :-). If they are to just drive 
every other Sunday in good weather, then you might get there eventually - 
after some years of trying - perhaps :-).  Just do the math: Every other Sunday 
let's say for an hour, that's 26 hours a year if you life where you can drive 
year round. Or if it's where the weather is bad half the time, then it's 13 
hours a year!  That's what I drive in 2 weeks. So in half a year, I do as much 
as 
that person would do in 13 years  (if he/she sticks with it that long :-). 
So YES, if you dream of having a well trained and safe pair, then I fully 
agree with the above statement. 
If your dream is upper level competitions, as a rule of thumb, where I come 
from, they say it takes about 500 hours of driving to make it a good upper 
level competition pair. That means two years driving an hour a day, five days a 
week !  So if you can't drive 5 days a week, just figure out how often you can, 
and then figure it out, how many years you need to put into your pair to get 
there.
