as the title suggests, mine has to be the fowey road via bodinnick. built by the yanks i think during WW2, its fast, flowing with some handsome corners thrown in. :)

whats yours? :thumbsup:

by the way did anyone watch the rally stages on the Boconnoc estate?

Yeah thats a good road Beth, i love the a39 from St Kew to Knightsmill, the road from Sladesbridge to Bodmin (luckily its the road i drive twice a day!), the road from Wadebridge to Pendoggett.........basically i have loads of favourites so long as they have bends! Even better in the golf too!

I was playing with a supra once along the Liskeard > Lanson way... Bendy Bendy for me Mr.3-Litre Chunkyness...oooHH whats this? i had a turbo aswell.. teehee.


Umm yeah.


I Like the run from Lanson to Tavi... Turn off right before you get to tavi (the route for 7.5tonners) and that takes you to plym.. its all under trees and you go over a little river and the roads are very windy indeed!.
