I was driving down to rehearse with the bassist and drummer yesterday but forgot where I was meant to be going and I took the roads towards the singer's house instead. I was about halfway there when I realised my mistake and I cursed very loudly !

However, I had to improvise and find a different route.. as I was driving on a road in South Dorset called the A35 I realised how much I like certain stretches of this road. When it has dual carriageway you can make rapid progress whilst the hills and valleys pass by. Here it is on a map

http://g.co/maps/uw7fg

Share some of your favourite driving roads.. maybe one day we'll get to try some of these out when we visit different countries !

wink.gif Hey all, I know what you mean Sir Higgins, and i wish we had the back to the future car...wouldn't that be awesome....

Here is my fav driving road, it's from a mountain in the state of where i was born, basically a mountain range and crazy bendy roads are cut all through it.....

I may have driven my brand new V8 along these roads when i was a young man and crashed it into a barrier but lets not get into that now.... laugh.gif

unfortunatly yes...but Insurance is a good thing, got something better and it didn't cost me a cent.... So, to summarise, said road is my fav to drive on but i cried everytime i drove on it after that....

Man, I got my car in two major accidents this year, each 1000e cost, fortunately insurance covered it cool.gif


The rute I have taken houndreds of times now already is one fraction of highway 155Km long, it's the road I've always been taking when going south for a gig in my country. Then the road branches in several directions. Belgrade to Paracin laugh.gif Dunno why, but it's either my favorite or my most hated part of the road smile.gif
