Plus it'll not cost £200 in fuel to travel on it like it will for some inferior runs to the far end of scotland that are being talked about on other websites

How about the road between Brough and Durham - up over the tops:
All of the red triangles on the map are harsh driving events from the TomTom tracker.
I come back this road whenever I am in the west country - normally every Friday - Amazing fun as long as it is not dark - even managed 0.74g near Middleton Teesdale and that was in a VW Caddy (140hp) van:

Well I manage to get the Caddy some good air and tyre squeel - normally every Friday on that road.
Even had the handbrake on a few times round the corners - would love if the Caddy was as quick & handled like the Foz.
Dont think I would push the Foz so hard on those roads just in case I broke something or make a new sunroof in it.

Hi Tuffty, This is the TomTom Work tracking application that comes with a vehicle tracker and a TomTom.
Pretty handy bit of kit. My work is the importers & distributors of these systems along with so many other trackers.
My little Caddy has 5 different tracking systems in it - from simple track to full CAN reading tracking - biggest downside of having a developement vehicle.
Next my work will be calling me to tell me off when I fart!
