Its so lush once you really start to get to know the roads, cos you can drive them quickly (maybe with a little induced slide) but safely. My drive home from falmouth has got a few cracking corner combos.

also anyone from round this sort of area ever driven the argal dam road??

Corr that argal rd a bit of alrite, i've not done it in the Scooby (yet) but many times in a 14 tonne lorry. I find it better coming from mabe side opposed to mawnan side.

Never been round there, but wouldnt fancy meeting a 14 tonner when having some fun in the twisties!! Also like the coast road from St. Ives to Penzance ..... IF you can get a clear run (not happened for me yet!!)

seen a few people getting over excited through there and lose it. agreed on the mabe side bit. Its even okay on running in the engine as you can pick up some pace coming down the hill. Used to be able to give myself a propper head rush driving through the dip at the bottom in the scoob. Once i've got my cars run in I was planning on strapping a gopro to the car and having a little drive of the argal, reckon it would make a good video.
