Well everyone is posting about the best roads!

Well how about the best roundabouts for a little sideways action? Big or Small!

There must be some good ones about that are in the middle of nowhere or perhaps industrial parks etc etc!

Skelmersdale in Lancs, its full of em! Think Milton Keynes with scousers biggrin

It also has (alledgedly) the largest roundabout in Europe.... which may or may not be great for such activities. I couldn't possibly comment of course.

The one outside your local industrial estate/lorry or bus depot. Guaranteed to be quiet at the weekend, and in the wet it will be covered with so much diesel and crap you'll have no problem breaking traction wink

Great couple of pubs on that roundabout as well wink If anyone's ever up there it's worth taking the exit to the b6051, cracking bit of road and usually not too busy

I was riding shotgun in the Corvette for that one. We've had some cracking Peaks runs over the years.

Dodgy roundabout at the end of Kingsthorpe on the A508 toward Market Harborough.
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&ge...

I've had the back end go in two different FWD cars, followed someone who went sideways in a beemer and the bollards are all bent over.

Surface must be completely fked, but hey that's cos we don't pay enough tax.

Who me ?

Next time it's moist and you're in Coventry -try the first one in from J3 on M6 (A4600) - near the Tesco store --but only heading in - probably cause there's plenty of HGV heading in to that estate .
