Afternoon all,

Just bought a new toy and desperately need to take it on a blast that doesn't involve dull motorways or congested residential streets, but the only problem is I'm pretty new to Kent (currently in Bromley) and don't know the road networks particularly well.

So... I'm keen to tap into the knowledge of more seasoned drivers in the area. Get people's thoughts on the best drives they've ever had in Kent? Decent routes, exciting back roads. Anything at all to break up the monotony and get the blood pumping on a Sunday morning.

Discuss.

Looks like a fine start.

Although if you did that in a TVR I'm thinking it cost you about 200 quid in petrol! biggrin

yeah that's gotta be a solid 3 hour route in clear traffic. Plus the journey back home after. Better clear the entire the afternoon for that one.

Could always split it into 'stages' though, WRC style!

Cheers for the suggestions lads. Some strong routes on offer here. Better warn the missus that she won't be spending a full weekend with me between March and August biggrin

As an aside, impressed/insanely jealous to see a few TVR's in owner's garages on here beer

So what's the new toy?
RX8 PZ. Not the fastest car I could have bought, and it's certainly not the T350 I dreamed of, but it really comes alive on the B-roads.

Had a little road trip to Longleat this weekend to stretch her legs - some lovely roads around there too if you're willing to get lost in the woods a bit.
