Ive just recently moved up to leeds for uni and am in desperate need of some fun/challenging roads to drive in the local area.
If any of you guys have some ideas itd be great to hear them because city driving is making me crazy!
Thanks guys
James

Hey mate, thanks for that ill check it out when i get a chance.
I drive a Peugeot 405 1.9TDi! not a PH car by any stretch of the imagination
but a pretty good car to learn in.
Although the brakes are shockingly prone to brake fade!
Cant wait to get back out on some twisty stuff, thanks again.

Yeah just had a look at the map and theres loads of B roads that look awesome!
silly me, but any suggestions of 'must drive' roads would be greatly received.

Well i never thought the old Goat would get respect from PHers!
I really like the way its quite forgiving to drive hard but
ive still got a way to go before i master it!
That sounds really cool mate, give us a shout when your next
going up there and if im free from lectures etc id love to come.
Thanks for all the advice

Finally got a good route for driving now but my god it takes it's toll on my pathetic French brakes!
I just can't wait to have a car that is in some way suited to the kind of driving i do. It's
so frustrating not being able to fully experience the roads round here without
the overwhelming smell of burnt brakes! (not that that is a bad smell btw!)
Has anyone got a spare F430 i can have?
