bungy 2 Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Looking ahead to next year and thinking of different things to do, i'd like to try out some of the iconic driving roads in the UK. If distance was no object what recommendations have people got of ultimate driving routes for petrol heads to navigate?Ideally post a link to the route or list so that it is easily found.Does anyone know the route driven by Jeremy Clarkson in his Escos. Think it was something pass? Link to post Share on other sites
