Commuting to work - favourite stretch of road, what's yours?
About twice a week, I travel along the A420 from Marshfield to the outskirts of Chippenham and there's a wonderful stretch of uphill, twisty road just the other side of Ford. if there's no traffic to delay you, a wonderful place to stretch the Macan's lung and test it's agility

Not a commute, but a favourite of mine is accross the Mendips from, say, Burrington to Shepton Mallet; some nice straights, a few sweeping fast bends and one really tricky triple which (through half closed eyes and a vivid imagination) is a bit like the corkscrew at Laguna Seca

Know it well and is my preferred route to Bristol Airport. It's awesome at night or very early in the morning at speed.....Paul wrote: ↑Thu May 03, 2018 9:33 am Not a commute, but a favourite of mine is accross the Mendips from, say, Burrington to Shepton Mallet; some nice straights, a few sweeping fast bends and one really tricky triple which (through half closed eyes and a vivid imagination) is a bit like the corkscrew at Laguna Seca

Not a commute but an annual trip We take on the road that runs from Moffat to Peebles in the Scottish Borders. It follows the river tweed for quite a few miles. Always hit it mid week when it is lovely and quiet. Beautiful scenery and a great meandering road. You don’t even need to go near the speed limit either

Not a commute, but a weekend driving through the Yorkshire Dales with the 991 chapter of the Porsche Club GB will live long in my memory! Awesome roads and scenery. And the first time that I saw a Racing Yellow 991 in the metal too!
