How about a "good drives" section....

Dr Zoidberg · 11-05-2008, 19:45

.....where people can suggest and recommend interesting driving routes.
Either for the pleasure of driving the roads , good scenery to stop and admire , or something interesting at the destination.....?

Just thinking of Fluff's "Evo triangle" thread as an example , but I'm sure most of us have favourite drives that could be shared.

Unless I'm imagining it , the review centre is missing from the list of forums here...

You have to click on the word Reviews - in the middle of the second level menus along the top of the page

Heh!

Well if I didn't find that despite having been here for 5+ years and almost 10k posts I'm sure a lot of other people miss it as well.

Anyone know if there's a reason it's not in the forum index with everything else?

I direct people to it occasionally, having the advantage over them of knowing it's there (well somewhere).

I'm glad ColinD simplified the main forums page recently as I think people familiar with the site forget just how extensive it must appear to newcomers and I agree it would be good if the Reviews section were easier to find.

I thought about this idea and i was wondering if it was possible using the google maps API. I have seen something similar on an MX-5 forum but it was very crude.

If you could save your route on a map it would make much more sense.
