B743 Strathaven to Muirkirk, here
https://goo.gl/maps/RtvrnwXsXfx

Ace road, you can zig zag across the country between M74 and A76 for the next few roads south of it, all slightly different from each other but great
B740
B797
A702

PS White wheels are good, a 4ft decal along the side to contrast with the wheels is required :wink:

Very nice, is that a Championship White with a Mugen spoiler? :thumbsup to the spoiler!

I really liked my old Type R, still miss the sound of the K20, but loving my FK2R. It makes a change having a Honda with some actual torque :D

Please, Please drive carefully on that road lots of cyclists! Also farms so tractors and even cattle round blind bends.... And more important to me is my kids live along that road and cycle into Strathaven from time to time. :thumbsup

Very nice Mike, big fan of the mkVII GTI.

GTD is top of the list for when the vRS gets replaced.
VX220 2.2 - Gone
BMW 335d Touring F31- Fastest car on the road
MINI Cooper 1.5- More fun than the BMW

Seems like a lot more than mine: I am jealous of quick clear screen and performance pack
I just have whatever is boggo spec for a 66 plate which is quite decent...
I think I have park assist and radar cruise...
What's dynaudio? My sounds seem pretty decent but it's no upgrade.

Loving my old man hot hatch...favorite is locking the door with the outside of the door handle... :damnfunny :thumbsup

Going to take it around KH?

DSG, 5 door and Performance Pack were the must haves for me, rest are just a bonus barring the Park Assist which is useless! :lol:

Dynaudio is excellent....

May take it on a 2 hour track night but have no plans to at the moment, however I was thinking it would be far more comfy for the trip to Spa in March over the Elise :oops: :lol:
