I had forgotten what it was like

Had some business up on the Welsh coast yesterday, drove up on nearly EMPTY ROADS[:0] I actually could enjoy my car! driving at the speeds I wanted to rather than being dictated by thousands of other road users, I remembered why I built the thing now[:D] I think I have been commuting too long.

A bit like the M40 at about 2.30 in the morning south bound eh! It's so rare these days to find even a smidgen of quite or decent road. I bet there was some dirty old speed camera about though. It was probably taking a wiss when you drove past.

I drive through empty country lanes on a regula basis. A perfect opportunity to unleash the beast in my underpowered auto.

It's enough to make you move up to the Highlands of Scotland..
The roads on the West coast are sublime.
Last time I was there I didn't see a Copper for a week...
Come to think of it I didn't see anyone for a week !

I did keep a lookout for camreras, plenty of signs but little evidence of yellow boxes.

It's not the yellow boxes. It's the vans you need to watch for in Wales. They even build special laybys for them now.
