Just going for a drive........
Discussion
At the risk of being naively on topic: What roads did you find?
I've "accidentally" taken wrong turnings off the A11 when travelling between Norwich and Ely. Mostly I've found the better roads west of Norwich. And flat? It's flat in the broads, but the rest is fairly hilly, particularly compared to Cambridgeshire.

Oooooh. Another.So, going back a few years when PH was actually about people that enjoyed driving and didn't give a toss about MPG, going for a drive was a GOOD THING.
Just think about it, 'let's just go for a drive' Sod the cost of petrol, sod the muppets in their caravans, sod all the twa*s in their company BMs, let's just go for a bloody good drive and ENJOY our cars.
I've been using this site for years and years. Even been to quite a few meets, yet you'll always get someone that will pick a tiny, pointless hole in a thread about GOING FOR A DRIVE FOR A LAUGH AN HAVING SOME FUN.

Wow thats a good drive - how lond did it take you - 5/6 hours? I thought of going out for a drive tonight but decided to stay in. My cars not great for long distances due to lack of power 
just over 6 which is fine. And fun (something which certain members on here seem to have a problem with, driving for fun. Sad t**ts) normally do around 10-12 a day in the van.FunBusMk2 said:
Let's all just make friends before it goes wrong. I'm sorry if I started it all - it wasn't my intention.
good, and is the 'funbus' good for dogging or surfing? Either way I'm interested 
Tried re-adjusting the ski hatch in the 155 to get the 'Board in but it isn't working.rottie102 said:
Do you even walk straight with the weight of that chip on your shoulder?
OK, I should probably not expect a conversation about the roads in question, then, as I am a 
t. Shame. Also interested in the choice of 2.0l instead of V6, as I've always wanted an Arese V6-engined car.

2.5 V6 Arese in a 155 is possibly one of the most delightful combinations that exists. It's just great and I mean REALLY great. It's an aural pleasure that cannot be replicated. even the 3.0l 12v version I had in my 164 cloverleaf didn't quite match it, certainly had mor go to it though.t. Shame.

As for handling, I have to say, the (63kg lighter) 2.0l engine trumps it on twisty stuff, don't get me wrong, the V6 can do it but it takes a lot more work and rubber to plant it.
IF you can find both, try them out. You'll end up buying one of them.

Thanks for that; more temptations added to the perennial car search. The noise is the main reason for my interest, good that you mentioned that first!As for handling, I have to say, the (63kg lighter) 2.0l engine trumps it on twisty stuff, don't get me wrong, the V6 can do it but it takes a lot more work and rubber to plant it.

So, what about my earlier question: what roads did you find? I'm always on the look out for interesting roads in the (relatively) local area.
