Steve-B Posted July 2, 2023 Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 Corsica. We once did a GOME rallye from Spa -> Marsailles -> Corsica and gotta say it's a stunning island. Of course, you gotta endure 1,000 + of Payage to get to the ferry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Simon Hello All We have done Route 66 and The sierra's and Route 1 all in one trip and we were riding a Harley Davidson Heritage Hardtail!! We covered 4,000 miles in 3 weeks it was magic but we did get lost a few times as we did no bother with satnavs just good old maps Roger and The Memsahib Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kiwican Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 I have only driven the parts of Route 66 between Kingman and Flagstaff AZ. That is a nice stretch of country road and some neat little towns. Done it a couple of times in my TR6. US395 along the eastern side of the Sierras is a great drive from a scenery POV. Have done that few times. Two drives on my retirement list are the Alaskan Highway, and the Trans Canada Highway (coast to coast). These two would be in a motorhome or towing a caravan.

mike ellis Posted July 27, 2023 Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 The Ring of Beara just south of the Ring of Kerry is at least as good and far less crowded. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tony_C Posted July 27, 2023 Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 Stunning TRier and thanks Mike, definitely on my to do list……… We had it all booked earlier this year and then ‘had to’ cancel, thinking we should have gone anyway?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alfrom Posted September 8, 2023 Report Share Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) Has to be Corsica so I’m with Ian on this It was good in a rental car so a TR would be stunning. Pigs are certainly hazardous, as are tourist coaches on the narrow twisty mountain roads - they don’t take prisoners! Also worth remembering is that some of the locals can be feisty - they carry(and use) hunting rifles: check out the road signs As you said though, it’s a long drive down to the ferry. . . . Brilliant place for mountain walking - my all time favourite holiday venue. Not for nothing that it is known as the beautiful island!

Steve-B Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) In 2002 I was with a group of Caterham owners touring Ireland sitting in a pub in Ballybunion and someone said “hey let’s do the USA”. Being I’m originally from Texas we <foolishly?> put our hands up and in 2005 we packed 40 Caterham and Westfield cars in 49ft containers in Barking and shipped them to Houston Texas. From there we spent 22 days driving 3,400 miles across Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Nevada and finishing on the Golden Gate Bridge. Gotta say that organising, coordination for recces, and all the work to do it as leader was great in the end! We did it as a touring assembly with all owners paying the fees directly to the vendors so we handled £0 . We avoided Route 66 as so little of it is left, replaced sadly by interstate highways and instead focused on twisty countryside roads given the vast variety of engines and mileages we plotted the route with fuel ~150 miles to cater for all drivers given distances involved, we’d have a long day drive with 2 nights stat then a shorter day with 1 night stays a couple places. In the end we drove well <100 miles of interstate highways for the entire route In Las Vegas 2 owners did a drive-thru wedding which was an extremely kept secret. Some day I need to write a book how to do it as we learned a lot, and minus an unscrupulous shipping agent here, it was a relatively breakdown free drive. Petrol is so amazingly cheap there all I’ll say is the fun pedal (accelerator) got (mis)used a lot by folks!

It was a load of fun, with huge wide well maintained roads! Counting in USA based cars we had a couple stretches with almost 70(!) Lotus Se7ens on the road. Only saw rain once the whole 3+ weeks, on the mountain passes heading into Moab Utah which turned all our cars sandstone orange. When I laid out the route, it was centered to do a road over Slumgullion Pass in Colorado, an amazing 52 mile stretch which at dawn you can drive the length flat out. I would get killed by SWMBO were I to agree to do something like it again, but still have all the materials - route books, t-shirt. decals, etc...
