Hello all,

Will be down in Cornwall first weekend of July in my 993 with two 355s, a DB9 volante and a 911 3.2 so we're looking for some interesting roads. Anyone have any recommendations?

The coast road from St.Ives round to Lands End via St.Just is a great road. Generally some good ones west of Penzance.
Newquay north to Padstow is quite cool.

All will be busy though at that time of the year, so make it early.
Arggg no. Pleeeeease don't tell anyone about this road. Leave it free for those of us who live here. (Selfish mare I know but hey) !! rage

Thanks - sort of...

Awesome road between the Roseland and Truro - I was at Truro school and it became something of a personal race track each morning. Managed to make it 18 minutes one day when I had a 944...
