Recommend a road
« on: 14 October 2006, 16:38 »
I took my GTI up to mid Wales last week and drove it on the mountain road from   Rhayader to Aberystwyth, it's very narrow but great fun and the car felt awsome. The roads are great to drive on in wales with  plenty of fast bends and good tarmac surface, and usualy quiet.
Is there a road you like to take a fast but of course safe :evil: drive on?

For 3 sundays in a row in the summer, i got up at 0430ish and took my MK4 GT TDi (130) up to dartmoor. I kept mainly to the haytor/widdecombe-on the moor area, although at times i had no idea where i was, but it was fantastic! Arguably the best scenery in the country, with absolutely no-one else around....just watch those animals!  :evil: Look forward to doing it in my MK5 GTI next summer  :smiley:

Had a weekend in North Yorkshire moors around Whitby. It's driving heaven up there and I'm told the scenery is pretty nice to. Would have spent hold weekend driving if not for the girlfriend. Well worth a visit.

Took the car out over the Snake Pass (A57 Glossop - Sheffield) last Saturday, very fast and twisty.  Average fuel consuption for run 16mpg!, lots of smiles!  So went over it again last night!  :laugh:

I'd have to say just about any where in Denmark. Most of the roads over there are table top smooth and totally empty
