on the way up to john o groats, sutherland is excellent,some nice twisting bits and some stunning views if the weathers nice.as are the roads once you go over the bridge at inverness, heading north. john o groats isnt all that great tbh, to be fair thou it is getting some money thrown at it and some new buildings/chalets were going up when i was up in may/june

I drove some amazing roads recently between the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. Can't give specific road names as I was following others but they were amazing roads with no traffic for miles and a clear view in both directions, there was some fast driving done that day.
Loads of car clubs head into that area I had a close shave with a vx220 going opposite ways around a sharp bend, we were both very close to the centre line.

Stelvio Pass - approached from the Swiss side, so no traffic or cyclists.
The motorway along the northern cost in Italy going past Genoa and into Monaco - huge volume of traffic and constant tunnels, the motorway is rarely straight for more than a mile and add in the Italians driving nose to tail and at 80 was an experience.
Driving round Monaco on the roads used for the GP

I cant say I've had the experience in the UK really other than going North from Kinross towards Pewrth and coming off the M90 and going cross country and ending up in the Cairgorms !
But in Oz.......
The Royal National Park and the Illawarra Highway, both built for scoobs + The run up to Bathurst through Oberon isn't bad either come off the Great Western Highway at Little Hartley and follow the ***'s River Rd all the way to Oberon, a stunning piece of road where you can see wel into the distance and safely use both sides of the road in the twistys.
The week before we moved home I did two very hard laps of the "Nash" knowing full well it would be the last time I did the run and the scoob was pushed to within an inch of it's life which led to terrible brake fade when I got back on the Princes Highway
Little Miss WRX will know what I'm talking about
Oz has so many great driving roads and so few people of them.

I have plenty...but they aren't in this country
Here's a few I quite enjoy to have a blast when I get the chance:
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Jijo...,195.09,,0,5.5
This ones alot more twisty and Hilly: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&...,98.01,,0,12.4
The one time I drove that in anger I was 4-up in a 208 1.4 HDi....I was down to 1st gear on some of the hairpins and struggling to accelerate.....still loved every bit of it, proabably moreso as I could thrash it to death and not really break the speed limits by much
