Unfortunately Joe, my experience of driving in the UK is not enjoyable, ruined by terrible road surfaces, cameras everywhere and an over populated island. Driving in Europe however is a much better enjoyable experience, perhaps the our government could learn something and stop bashing the motorists. However I do enjoy your videos , keep up the good work 👍

Totally agree with you. I’m actually planning a drive with friends. But UK driving is not the best, even as can be seen here. Loads of limits that seem unnecessary, note this are winter months, imagine what it will be like in summer with the added speed limits. It’s painful if I’m honest compared to my experience driving Mediterranean Europe.

Just want to echo Joe's wise words - take it easy in the 30 and 40 limits folks. I live in Great Chishill. The top of the village has the entrance to a kids nursery and playing fields, but the approach to it has no pavement meaning pedestrians are forced to walk in the road prior to crossing the road. The road out of Chishill is great fun, but has really suffered over the winter with plenty of deep potholes. Sometimes the repairs don't last more than a few weeks. The Pheasant in Great Chishill is also a great stop for food.

Try these roads when you get your motorbike Joe. They're so much more rewarding on a bike. I come from a car background too (and still have my E46 m3), but once you get into bikes, the UK becomes much more fun again as traffic is not an issue and the roads are fun at all speeds.

What a blast! Great road, no traffic at 11:00am - had a blast. As you rightly said, you're not at the speed limit much (if at all) but it's all about the flow between the turns. Really enjoyed it - if you ever do another video similar to this, it'll be a must watch from me. Cheers!

Referring to the car, I can say it looks gorgeous and judging its look, I decided to change the upholstery from white to Silverstone, in the M3 Touring I wish to buy in the next 2 years if everything goes well.

I once picked up a big fine because I stopped for a chat as I thought outside the car park, but apparently I was enough in the car park to be fined for being there for a few minutes without paying. Have now seen route 2 - know that one also, we like the same types of roads (no surprise there).
