Not on the farm tracks I've got lined up, bring the Multi!

Joking aside it is pretty bad for caravans but if you stay away from the main routes (which all have 50 limits anyway) it's not so bad. The B roads are more fun as 90 feels like a 120!

Must agree! I was driving home last night and it's a national speed limit road and after a blind bend Sat a bloody 3 and half toner!! What the hell. Not being funny I know this road and I am very aware of what could be around any corners but I wasn't expecting that! I recogn if I was a young boy racer (which I used to blast down yhat road fairly regularly) then I defo would of rear ended that...and I'm sure that vehicle would of come out with not so much as a scratch on it...me on the other hand!

I beeped but think the driver may of been lost or finding a house unsure...stupid idiot! But if I didn't have that 'what if' I don't think I'd be here on tankslap for a few days or weeks lol!
