Calling Londoners

[steveb25]

One of the many downsides to owning a Elise in London is that for the majority of the time you are sat in traffic trying to stop the Liz kangarooing along, going no more than 20 mph.

So just wondering where people take there Elises to have a blast along some country roads away from the traffic.

I tend to head down the A3 towards Guildford and then turn off but am writing to see if anyone has got and hidden jems not to far out of London for weekend blasts.

Trackdays are your friend. Makes you lose the desire to drive fast on the road. Well at least it does for me.

I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you

Check out the Roads forum on PH. Loads of secret spots and famous ones to boot. If you want a great drive come off the A3 at the A272 and go for a blat in either direction.

I've found a way round the new idiot speed humps they put on a trunk road on my way to work. Make as much noise as possible approaching them, then as all the humps are at junctions with side roads, slow to 5mph, hold up all the NIMBYs (that asked for the speed bumps) waiting to pull out of the side roads by bunching all the traffic. Repeat for each hump. Great fun

The BoLOCs are meeting tonight. Get down the A31 and then at southampton go across the forest A35 and meet us at the Pavillion for some great roads, great driving, great food, great pub. Then you can do it all again in reverse!
