Don't really listen to the supercharger as I don't have one

But the road in North Yorkshire from Stokesley to Helmsley is one of the best imho Up through the cleveland hills and into the yorkshire dales. Excellent

TBH, I've barely had the radio on since I got my S, just listen to the engine anyway

BTW there is a great set of roads around Louth (near Lincoln)

There is a road near here that runs along the base of the Dolomites. That is a TON of fun.

I'd be lost if I had somewhere to be!

OMG, I was just thinking the same thing! I've been across Dartmoor a few times now just for fun, some of the roads around Princetown and Two Bridges are excellent MINI-fodder.

Just keep an eye out for the poor Dartmoor ponies though...

I went to that track in July this year - if it's the same track I'm thinking of. A young lad went out on the track after we'd finished in his own twin engine cart. He ended up rolling it while we watched! It was absolutely shocking.

Anyway, I live in Sutton Coldfield, and I always head out towards Tamworth if I'm looking for some decent roads to drive. It's difficult to find good roads around here without a bit of a drive. Mid Wales is always good for a laugh.

Love those roads - but you have to drive with Moor care.. Also heading up from Tavistock to Barnstaple - great roads as long as you don't get stuck behind a tractor!
