Which Route...Motorway or A- Road

Gazi · 02-08-2011, 03:16 AM

Coming back from sheffield to Manchester with a new car...

Avoid the snake path as the tires and brakes are not break in yet?

briers · 02-08-2011, 03:32 AM

If it's brand new, do a-roads. Varying revs is better than a constant steady speed.

Snake Pass every time.

Depends what the new car is IMO

Gazi · 02-08-2011, 03:44 AM

With my concerns with the break and tires I guess I can break earlier and go easy on the bends for now haha since Im not very familar with snake path

It is a 320D Msport

I always do Woodhead when going from Barnsley to Manchester

bimmaguy · 02-08-2011, 06:44 AM

done this journey a few times, just take the snake pass, the drive is daring as you want it to be!!!

Baby Dave · 02-08-2011, 08:22 AM

chrisbin · 02-08-2011, 08:58 AM

Woodhead.

Avoid both at rush hour as the queues through Glossop and Mottram to get to the M67 are a nightmare.

Made it home alright?

Gazi · 02-08-2011, 10:53 AM

Im planning the trip for saturday...

just read the OP again.. does sound like Im doing this trip today haha sorry

beemerbird · 02-08-2011, 11:09 AM

You been over Snake Pass before then? Don't cook your brakes ffs lol...........good way of testing for brake fade I suppose.

Anyhow, enjoy the car, seen the pics and yep, defo. like the wheels.

Puzzled as to why you spell tyres the American way though?

RagingKileak · 02-08-2011, 11:16 AM

Snakes pass - you'll be sat behind a lorry the whole way so don't worry too much.

Matt

Gazi · 02-08-2011, 11:18 AM

haha.. no I wont cook my breaks.. thanks for the heads up

I have probably been on it once or twice, with it being a new car I wont over do it, I will just take the opportunity to drive it through different rev range with load. Rather than taking motorway...

I didnt even realise I spelt it the american way, it just looked right to me

beemerbird · 02-08-2011, 11:22 AM

Ok then fair enough.

Spelling looked right er.........
