I occasionally use a back road cut through from Alton to Basingstoke, mainly because IT IS GREAT! There are a few good overtaking places and some great bends and hills and negative and positive camber, basically it is a great driving road!

Last night I came up behind a RS6 wh at the first overtake oppertunity shot off - I followed. There is no doubt he was faster on the straight but the ground made up in the straight was lost rapidly in the bends.

It was GREAT driving - and there was a grin strapped to my face.

We got into Basingstoke and he slowed right down so I could draw up next to him, he was grinning aswell and we waved thanks.

If you are out there R666 xxx, That was FUN!

Yeah, the 'private driveway' leading up to my house is just like that too mate! Handy innit?

...and true, that is what it's about... or at least, one of the many cool aspects of what it's ALL about

Good to see an enjoyable tone to this as well - too many stories of 'I'd have this' or 'He couldn't that' - you both rocked on... top fun... happy days!

Had similar with a biker recently, well within the speed limits I might add, but on a very twisty country road. Got to a straight and he had way more but still drew up alongside to give a thumbs-up and a nod before he shot off!

Why do you never visit when you are only 8 miles down the road? Because of my personality disorder or my body odour?

I love that road, shame it has so many signs listing the dead and flashing corner warning lights these days..... :-( Bikers seem to like throwing themselves into trees and ditches down there...

I love it when you find someone whose up for a sensible 'play'. Don't get it very often - all too often its kids or chavs looking to prove their 'manhood'.
I've been having some great solo blasts in the dry weather over the past few weeks but the roads are starting to fill up with emmetts so they'll be too busy soon.
