    Any of the roads in the area where I live are scenic.

    My favourite stretch of road is the Southbound M26 where it sweeps across and then joins the M20. You can pick your joining spot as you cross over the M20 and by the time you take the fast downhill bend you can merge onto the M20 at the speed limit.

    Try it.


    Considering selling my VCDS KEY-USB interface. If you're interested please contact me via PM or email.

    Yes - the N95, i found that there are 5 video quality settings - on the best setting i could only get 30 mins vid on a 1 gig card.

    I got the cradle with good suction cup fron the mobile stall in the centre of coventry for £7.99.

    Got it home, stripped it down, heated up the stanley and set to work.

    It is very much like the picture you sent me the other night rick.

    hmmm for me it's probably the A55 towards towyn....

    it's the nicest road i've had the pleasure to drive on yet, I don't particularly like tight country lanes, but those roads with backdrops (hence my liking of the A55) are more my thing

    i understand your reasoning, but I hate my journey to and from work, nothing but stop-start traffic, oh what I'd give for a nice 20 minute motorway commute

    I just love the road from Bridport to Weymouth. The Coast road that is.

    Incredible views and a wonderful drive in a well set up quattro.

    Lots of hills and twists and turns and very little traffic - gggggreat!!

    I used to like the A590 from the M6 to Barrow-in-Furness. That was many years ago though and then it had the Cumbria police regularly policing it (I got 6 points in two years) and now I believe it is a speed camera nightmare.

    It's a Mercedes Benzzzz though
