Now that I've been edumacated, 575Hp and 700Nm of torque through the rear wheels will probably mean it will.All that picture needs is some road markings
Does she go round???
I'd have to give it to our resident drift expert to find out
Went to Junction 1 on Saturday on the way to Coleraine - had a blonde moment coming back onto Dunsilly Roundabout and went left towards Randalstown instead of straight on to Ballymena
Meant I could take the back roads from Randalstown - Portglenone - Kilrea - Aghadowey - Mascosquin
Decent bit of staging on relatively quiet roads the whole way - decent weather too on Saturday afternoon

Travelled that road from Randalstown to Kilrea everyday for 3 years. The Kilrea road into Kilrea from PG1 you can really get a wriggle on, though some bumps towards the end and on a few of the sweeping corners can mean some hairy moments

Yeah I was in the Q5 and forgot myself a couple of times - brakes work well for a 2T+ bus
Coming into the town from that road just before you'd hit the 30mph zone can get a bit bouncey at speedYeah I was in the Q5 and forgot myself a couple of times - brakes work well for a 2T+ bus

Is indeed.
A8 from Larne heading to Millbrook roundabout (where the Shanes Hill Road meets it). Left there and onto the Ballyrickard Road where there’s a glorious downhill straight and a couple of tight rights (worse in winter) - Watchill Road - Carrickfergus Road (all one road, but the names change as it goes) and thence the bypass at the side of Ballynure.
Or, left 1/2 way along and down the New Line into Carrickfergus. Any RMSers from that area will know it. Claimed many a R plater…

Not Ireland, but discovered the B6278 across the Pennines a few weeks ago in an attempt to escape traffic on the A1M. Unbelievable road, and usually empty too. Just need to watch out for sheep.
Google maps says my commute is 1hr 28 and I’ve done it in 1hr 3mins!

I'd always head that way when going to Coleraine/Port, in laws cant understand why I wouldn't take the purpose built motorway instead.

I have one of those as well, can’t seem to switch it off
I have driven those, actually done quite a lot of the wild Atlantic way.
Definitely some great roads, also some I have turned round on due to the condition of them.
Honestly, pot holes large enough for my car to fall into.
Killing time in Snowdonia waiting on the Holyhead ferry after picking car up this morning from Liverpool. Everyone goes on about North Wales scenery so decided to plan a little trip and take in some scenery.
The Turf and Racecourse (Wrexham AFC)
The Horseshoe Pass
'Evo Triangle'
Snowdonia
Yes the views are lovely, but no better than some of the roads and driving scenery at home.

Took it by accident a few years ago and thought it was outstanding, but had all the kids in the family bus so couldn’t enjoy it
Must have been great innthat BMW, did you notice a sign for this place gave me a chuckleAttachments

The other side there from Belleek into Ennsikillen is great as well.
