I've driven this, it wasn't terrifying at all. Everyone drives about 30mph on it. The only stressful parts are around LA.

The Amalfi Coast Road, now that's a scary one to drive.
i would love to do California 1, it gives me so much nostalgia already

(it would need to ba as a passenger tho)

The one I did with my Dad was good too: Atlanta-Nashville-Memphis-Natchez-Lafayette-New Orleans-Pensacola-Montgomery. That's a good one to do.

Quite like that. Have few beers, stick my head out the window and feel the wind in my hair, tongue lolling like a happy Labrador

Taking over the stereo, toss that tape out the window, don't want that, stick this on, turn it up to the maximum!

Do the Elan Valley butt.

Did it in August. I drove with my girlfriend up to the Llyn Peninsula. The A470 goes from Cardiff all the way to the top, it's like the Route 66 of Wales. It was wicked. There's a really evil bit of road when you get to the high points of Snowdonia.

The British road trip exists, it's just different. American road trips are focused, linear, oriented towards a destination. British road trips are digressive, exploratory, a fractal pattern of detours off detours off detours to see ever more marginal bits of Local Interest. An American road trips cuts a slice across a the country, a British road trip weaves itself into a region, becoming space-like rather than linear, like a situationist drift through South Devon.
