I get to London a couple times a year since the 70s and have yet to drive there!

Hi, I'm in Birmingham, west midlands..........I completely agree the speed cameras are a PITA as is trying to drive 'expressively' in the city, however due to my location I can reach deserted country lanes within about 15 mins and then .....no speed cameras, no pedestrians, no traffic lights etc so the thrill of driving ones car as it is meant to be driven is readily available (of course I never break the local speed limits
)....country lanes or B roads as we Brits call them are long, winding and sometimes challenging roads for the spirited driver quite often deserted for miles without a speed camera in sight, oh what joy to be had on the right day at the right time in the right car (obviously a zed is my vehicle of choice at the moment) spirited driving is still available without upsetting local law enforcement as long as you know where to find it, how about your side of the pond I bet there 's miles upon miles of unspoilt tarmac over in US
