Whats Your Best Road You've Driven On?

[silvasurfa]

the one that that takes me home to bed after a night shift, love it!!!

[Fizz]

yes that was fizz!

cleared the deck by at least 2 foot!

hahaha!! wuda been scary when landing back on ground, car would have been hard to control i guess?

lets just say i have lauched a couple of cars off the floor in the past.. (hire cars :P ) so i kinda knew what to expect...

but i did not want to launch my own !Removed! car!..

I almost died of a heart attack from shock and Ken also nearly died of a heart attack from laughin as Jaxx mentioned!..

[breezer]

hahaha! wish i was there, can jus imagine it

[Fizz]

haha next time you lot plan to do something like this, take a vid camera :D would be really funny!!

trust me.. i wish there was a camera there.. would look like a rally pic with me flyin ofver a crest!.. B)

but i would never do that again in my car.. I love her too much.. just glad i landed pretty smoothly...

[Hou]

Whatever road it is that runs through Glencoe, with the water flowing ff the mountains onto the road..............

love it around glencoe took girlfriend there for her birthday, was breathtaking and the roads are great too!!!

[JustJJ]

You wasn't the only one to go airbourne B)

The road's round here are pretty good but we would need a whole day to do them all properly and that include's the proper twisties that i never took you all on :P

As said the road's round Buxton are pretty good as is the A9 and i also like the A83 to Campbeltown

[Firthy]

Fizz but you did go airborn again, when my mate was in the car :P

Might not as gone as high as you did over the bridge but you said the back end left the road slightly

[Fizz]

ask your mate.. i was too busy consentrating on the road...

Im sure he will explain a little better..

by the way.. is he usually pretty quiet!..

[urotsukidoji_badassdemon]

Depends what you wanna do, if you want to have a good ol' !Removed! scare, then try mountain raod between Manchester and Huddersfield/Leeds. I took a wrong turn one day a few years back trying to get from Liverpool to Hudds. Saw a singpost on a little road, took that, and boy, was that road windy AND scarey!! The road is like hanging off a mountain I think!! All the traffic was going really slowly, cos it had been raining, and I don't think anyone wanted to plunge to death anyway. Not sure what the road is, but someone up north probably knows it. The scenery was nice tho, all mountains and fields, but not really able to appreciate it through concentrating on watching the road. Other wise, a nice lonngggggg stretch is the raod from Hudds, via Denby Dale to the M1. thats nice and relaxing. Nice long sweeping winding downhill gradient there. Sit back and cruise, did 80 in neutral one night down that road!! West Yorks people may know of the raod.

[urotsukidoji_badassdemon]

Yo Fizz, where you at?

[vmail]

I think I know that road, I took a sub there once, and down it went, it was doing 60MPH in 1st down hill, I was lucky that there was another road there waiting for me

[dazwan]

I like all the country lanes back home around Pontefract. Once you get out of town there are some great little twisty roads that just go on for miles.

[Fizz]

Yo Fizz, where you at?

aint got a clue about that road matey.. but some of the country roads round Hudds are cool.. B)

[Scottish_SR]

Pretty much anywhere in Scotland!! lol

[Ryan1985]

I'm partial to a spot of A9 running across the Highlands to Inverness..........

or.......

Whatever road it is that runs through Glencoe, with the water flowing ff the mountains onto the road..............

I like them 2, some quality roads in Scotland, I especially like the roads that there is no1 on and u can see for miles!

[Jimlad]

If you want a madd scary road to drive on and don't mind possibly trashing your car then there's one where I live. Just outside my town there's a place called gottonside. The road to there we call gattonside bumps.

It's basically like a roller coaster, up and down like crazy. Loads of humps etc. You can easily get your car of the ground there and the road continues like this for quite a while.

I've heard of quite a few boy racers trashing their cars on this road.

The best roads ever have to be some of the ones around the Cotswolds area, around Oxfordshire.

In the past month I have been twice to the Cotswolds with another forum I'm with (Lotus Elises) and we have done the same 106 mile run twice. The roads are absolutely fantastic - some great corners, some great views and some really fast roads...

If anyone wants a copy of the run with directions and comments, then let me know and I can email it to you... it really is the best :)

[theenemywithin]

I think it's better when you know the road. You can get much more speed and feel alot more confident.

There really is nothing like going round a blind corner to fast and not knowing what is at the other side.

I live in t'Pendle up here in Lancashire and there are some outstanding roads that just make you drive fast.

So much So since i'vd had my T-Sport i've had to change my route to work.

If i went the normal way i would be DEAD.

[Leeky]

A4074 Between Reading & Oxford. Muchos Muchos grip in the summer. Had GT4 almost flat out down that road. Very scary

[Tom.B]

The matlock to buxton oad leading to the cat and fiddle. You can see in front for miles and its only busy at weekends.. Plus the views are amazing

[alanbradley]

I'm partial to a spot of A9 running across the Highlands to Inverness..........

or.......

Whatever road it is that runs through Glencoe, with the water flowing ff the mountains onto the road..............

Every time I think I'm getting sick of the A9 I have a run down like I did on Sunday morning. Practically no traffic from Inverness to Pitlochry (about 90-odd miles) and an average speed of 69mph until I turned off a Ballinluig to cut cross country via Aberfeldy and the A826 and A822 to Crieff via the Sma' Glen, re-joining the A9 at Gleneagles for the final dual-carriageway and motorway run to Glasgow... 175 miles, 2 hours 45 mins!

My favourite still remains the Bealach-na-ba. Going from Inverness leave Lochcarron on the A896 and after about 3 miles you'll find this sign beside a turning to the left:-

And on a good day you'll get a view like this...

The road is like an alpine pass as it winds itself up the pass into the mountain - then you crest the top onto a plateu that's so desolate it's like some other planet. Descent the other side and you're in Applecross and remind yourself that until the 1970s (or thereabouts) that was the only way in...

That and the A26 through the Champagne region of France...

Cheers,

Alan

(and today's award for OTT prose goes to.... )

EDIT: Darn, forgot to mention that the road through Glencoe is the A82... I'm REALLY spoilt for choice up here

[vmail]

that sign should be on every road

[corollags]

The National speed limit section of Llantrisant road in Cardiff - 95 round corners is soooooo fun!!!

Also, the section of the A470 from Rhayader to Llangurig!

Just watch for :censor: speed traps in laybys!

[LORD_ED]
