    Sometimes, there’s nothing quite as relaxing as going for a drive to clear the mind. Depending on where you live you might have some wonderful roads close by – rural areas in England and the Scottish Highlands are fantastic, the latter of which offers up some of the most beautiful scenery in Britain. If you’ve got the need to get out of the house and fire up your engine, here’s 5 fantastic driving routes in the UK. We’ve included two from Scotland, one from England, one from Wales and one from Northern Ireland.


    1. A82 towards Glencoe, Scottish Highlands
    This drive is fantastic for anybody who enjoys highland views. Throughout this stretch of road you’ll be surrounded by scenery that’s as close to Switzerland as you’re going to get. Driving here in early spring is particularly beautiful, with snow still covering the tops. The road itself is smooth in most places, although there are some rough patches. It has a few sweet bends too, although we don’t recommend going all out – in the winter, black ice is a common problem.

    2. Bealach na Bà, Scotland
    Bealach na Bà, which means Pass of the Cattle, is a stunning mountain climb ascent in Scotland. It has lots of hair pin bends, dips, and as you climb you’ll be rewarded with spectacular views across the gorgeous Scottish hills and mountains. Macklin Motors has a range of used cars in Scotland if you’re after something to tackle the Highlands in. This road remains relatively clear even in peak season and so driving enthusiastically is recommended. Once you reach the end, you’ll be further rewarded with the Applecross Peninsula.

    3.  Humber Bridge, East Riding of Yorkshire / North Lincolnshire
    Yeah, the Humber Bridge is a straight piece of road that offers no challenge to the motorist, and it costs money to cross, but listen here; it’s the fifth largest single span suspension bridge in the world and Top Gear even devoted part of an episode to it. We say it’s worth seeing up close.

    4. A4069 Black Mountain Road, Powys, Wales
    The A4069 Black Mountain Road is a fantastic place to drive, and is recommended to motorists who like a challenge; there are lots of bends, dips, twists and climbs here and the road stretches through the beautiful Brecon Beacons National Park. This is particularly stunning on a clear, dry summers day, although spring is also a good time to visit. The road doesn’t have street lights and so is unspoiled with only natural beauty surrounding it.

    5. Antrim Coast Road, Northern Ireland
    If you’re ever in Northern Ireland – or more specifically along the North Coast of the Emerald Isle – you simply must visit Antrim Coast Road. It is one of the best driving roads in Northern Ireland passing past houses at first, before you are rewarded with stunning views out across the coast line and sea.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Just 15 of these came into the country priced at R3.57m.

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
