Just thought it would be good to get some really nice photos of some quality roads.

You know the sort.. the sort of photo that gets your mouth watering and your heart beat racing at the thought of driving it.

I'll start off with a couple...

Top idea for a thread, although I can't find many shots of my own that don't have my car in the way smile

I think contributers should include a Google maps link too though, to help with planning...

I don't have any photos that do it justice, but this is such a great road I need to post it anyway! The GI-682 from Lloret de Mar to Saint Feliu. Absolutely the best road I've ever driven, and quiet, and stunning to look at.



On the coastal theme, the road in Oregon mentioned above looks awesome.

A superb bit of road.
Was there last month, heading from Ullapool to Kyle of Localsh, we just went up to that view point and back down again before going to Applecross.
