As per thread title...

I suppose mine must have been through the three mile long disused single track trans-Pennine railway tunnel between Diggle and Marsden and back,.. in a Ford Capri in 1979,.......biggrin

Unforunately you can't do this now, as they've sealed it up with metal gates......grumpy

Through a shopping centre. Christmas eve, 198-something. It wasn't clever, I'm not proud of it. But we got away with it, no CCTV back then.

Verton Gimp in the south west - only for the unfortunate name. Otherwise down a busy dirt track road in goa on a yamaha 500cc, utter mayhem!

Drove on tracks out in remote Western Australia in a crappy Holden Barina last year!
I was passenger in a Land Cruiser in a very remote part of the western Serengeti in Tanzania. We were delivering books and sports kit to remote schools in the area where they had nothing but dirt tracks with giant potholes everywhere! Great experience sitting in the rear seats (in the boot) at 60mph smile

I wish I'd listened to the Avis rental guy when he told me not to take his brand new car into the centre of Bangkok

That will be "Ventongimps" then.

near "perranzabuloe" and "goonhavern"

We love strange names here in Cornwall.

Drove a skiddoo onto the back of a Ford F350 Superduty via a couple of railway sleepers, drove to a glacier, then spent the day hooning on the glacier in the Ford and on the skiddoo. Iceland is a great place.

Middle of a frozen lake in Sweden. Not so bad when you get out to the middle, but a bit scary the first time you drive from the land onto it. It just shouldn't work, but it does.
