A628 in the Peak District
I had to make a trip from the M1 across to Manchester this week and whilst blindly following the TomTom ended up on a simple awesome piece of road.
The A628 portion from Thurlstone to Tintwhistle would be an amazing blast in the S.
Unfortunately I was beating along in a Passat but still had a lot of fun with the other reps on the way home to Manchester. This A road is glassy smooth all the way, is very technical with superb visibility across the most of it. If you are up that way, go and try it out. Beware of the bikers though, this appears to be Manchesters playground and sport bikes were knee-down at every opportunity!

A47 Snake Pass is one of my favourites, but most roads in that area are awesome.
The Woodhead Pass which is the A628 was a pale imitation to be honest when the Snake was NSL.

Coming back from Wilmslow to Notts, I drove the A537 Macclesfield to Buxton in torrential rain at about 9ish on Friday night. Not a car on the road, heavy rain, standing water and fog high up.
It was great fun! Loads of concentration, cutting corners and gentle throttle inputs. I had as much fun as I usually do in the dry. If the missus hadn't of been in the car with me I would have turned around and done it again

Standards must be maintained. Otherwise we'll end up like chavsareus.co.uk
Oh, and Mr. Chilled, would you mind using capitals at the start of sentences please.
