Hello all
Apologies if this should be in another section/board but I thought I would get most responses here!
It's been almost 6 months since I bought my 59 Plate Mk6 GTI and I am thoroughly enjoying driving it. Extremely glad I ended up getting a manual and not the boring (sorry to the DSG owners!) auto!
I feel it's time to drive the car on open, twisty back roads with no/low traffic and see what this beast is capable of doing!
Requirements:
1. In or close to Hertfordshire as I am there quite frequently as my other half lives in Hemel Hempstead
2. Must be able to do national speed limit (or 60mph) - haven't bought the car to be doing 30/40 mph :grin:
3. No/Low speed cams :wink:
4. Smooth surface!
In terms of traffic, I'm not too bothered as I intend to wake up on the crack of dawn on a weekend to avoid it.
Anyone here has any knowledge on any driving roads with the requirements above?
Once I've experimented a little in Hertfordshire I will head towards Wales where I've heard the real gems are hiding :laugh:
Appreciate the feedbacks!

If you don't mind going up as far as Bedfordshire, the B660 and B645 near Kimbolton are a great drive.
Popular though so the police may well be biker baiting during busy times in the summer.

The A507 Baldock to Buntingford road is one of the better local driving roads :wink:

Thanks guys, lets hope the weather is good this long weekend so I can take the car out for a real spin!

Didn't Clarkson find some amazing driving roads in Hertfordshire whilst reviewing the F12 Berlinetta?
There was also a lovely village there, called Pitlochry.................... :whistle:
