Viewing: Most Fun Road

**Puntopimp** · 25-01-2012, 05:01 PM

What is the best road you have found what is Safe enough to have a hell of a lot of fun?? This little circuit I found while navigating past road works at 1 am Jee gods the lack of traffic and the windy corners e.t.c makes it a great little rally circuit so to speak

whats your local thrill but what won't harm any body?

One of the best i've been on is the SNAKE PASS - it links Sheffield to Manchester

but it does get congested from time to time though

**Puntopimp** · 25-01-2012, 05:07 PM

ahh fair enough I think in about 4 hours of driving this road I've seen like one car!

quick video - doesnt hit the switchbacks until near the end.
was fun driving it in a wee fiesta bout a month after passing my test

Just about any road in Angelsey. Hardly any cars on the road it's such a pleasant and fun drive.

Snake Pass is a good one. I discovered it in 1990. A487 in North Wales is fun but the Heddlu Gogledd Cymru are very quick to dish out tickets. You have been warned.

Ewww swearing!!

lol I'm Yet to try any roads in Wales should maybe do it one weekend

**dagger** · 25-01-2012, 09:08 PM

as said Angelsey's roads are great

***HDi fun*** · 25-01-2012, 10:38 PM

Anglesey is a good place as well, though I've not driven much of it despite living in N Wales for a short period.

@ PPimp - translate, North Wales Police.

Be cautious, Richard Brunstrom's legacy is a quick fire approach with the LiDAR gun. Not a bad thing really but they have been known to get a bit carried away, like ticketing 62mph in a 60 zone. I know technically they can do so but in my opinion that's a bit severe. SO, eyes wide open and a good 1/2 mile up the road matey. Enjoy

**Puntopimp** · 25-01-2012, 11:20 PM

hehe Another good road is the Road going into East Grinstead the A22 from the M25 is a great little run in the day time!

You can get a nice bit of speed down here! and the Speed Cameras are non existant!

Hi again everyone, my fav road is this Hillclimb which is public road for 364 days of the year.

This is my 1st run up the hill for the day and I ended up hitting the kerb out of the last corner, ended up with a 37:52 which put me 12th out of 80, but had to put the car on the trailer and take it home

Hi Puntopimp

This is my setup

**Puntopimp** · 26-01-2012, 12:26 AM

Nice one! I might just be cheap and use Duct Tape and a Vid Camera xD after all the British Army is held together by the stuff

**loz1961** · 26-01-2012, 12:32 AM

LOL yeah 100mph race tape is basically duct tape has 1000's of uses

Brought some better brackets since then will try them out this weekend, GOIN RACIN!!
Yee Haa

**hg70** · 26-01-2012, 10:57 AM

maquarie pass, this road goes from sea level up into the mountains, really fast turns at the bottom and big sweeping bends at the top.
it's a really fun road at night

**Puntopimp** · 26-01-2012, 11:59 AM

Sounds like some Roads in Italy if you go from the mount blanc tunnel into Florence

about 15 miles long all hair pin junctions from the Alps down to sea level

**hg70** · 26-01-2012, 02:00 PM

is that the stretch were they test supercars?

***T9 man*** · 26-01-2012, 05:31 PM

I am still in search of that ideal fun road

**pgarner** · 26-01-2012, 06:20 PM

telling you T9 take a trip up to applecross, probably only around a 1200mile round trip for you but i doubt youll be disappointed

***T9 man*** · 26-01-2012, 06:34 PM

Cheers PG, might have to give this a go when it's a little warmer - being a soft southerner and all

Will need to plan my journey up there on-route via BP petrol stations with a distance of no more than 350 miles between them, oh it's a thirsty beast!

You should try out the A22 Its nearer to you and is great fun the straight is about 2 miles long

**Jakeymd** · 26-01-2012, 10:03 PM

Drive through wales and take a wild turn off and you'll find lovely roads. The A5 is nice, very scenic but quite busy.

**turbonutter69** · 26-01-2012, 10:29 PM

How big is your tank?
