    Driven: some of the roads near me. They're beautiful- some long straights, then straight into winding country roads . Also on a dirt track by accident

    Wanting: The Nurburgring. This is pretty much one place I have to drive. And the journey down to Kent- should be doing that over Christmas some awesome stretches of road!

    Driven only on national roads. And as many of you may know (by old Portugal Rally videos), we have some amazingly beautiful and exciting roads.

    Some of the road in the Adelaide Hills IN South Australia are absolutley glorious to drive, plenty of undulations and corners ranging from 1st gear to 3rd gear all done below the 100km/h speed limit .

    The Classic Adelaide Rally is being run over the weekend

    Last summer we drove all the coast line in Istra, Croatia. You drive all the at around 50 metres from the sea. Really amazing.

    "Tourist Loop" a piece of road near my old town which had some of the most stunning scenery and was an absolute joy to drive, fresh tarmac on it a few years ago so is a great road to drive...

    would like to drive the N'Ring...

    Before I die, I will drive the Pacific Coast Highway, the Tail of the Dragon, and the Ring. I'll probably die on the Ring. Need more practice in GT4.
