Default How long do you warm your car up for?

Thought I'd start a new thread, after reading LegacyRS's thread about warming his car up in the morning.

How long do you warm your car up for before you drive it? Going from some replies I've seen in other threads, it ranges from not at all to 15 minutes.

I don't warm mine up at all.

Once my car is started, about 5 seconds later its rolling out of the garage, and 30 seconds later its out on the road (by the time I wait for traffic to drive past).

I drive it nicely, light throttle and keep the revs down until the car is at operating temp, then I drive it normally.

So...how do you do it?
