Whereabouts are you/were you headed?

This is getting exciting.

I was impressed with T6. T5 was a little bit of a let down with the crash barrier creating both a visual and physical restriction but the excitement started to peak again with T4 and how it was both light and airy. T3 is down right impressive with how to steers round to the left with what appears to some sort of habitation to the right. I hope T2 can do it justice but till I see T2 I’ll be on the end of my seat in wonderment.

The excitement is palpable.

Are. YYZ-YWG, basically.

T -6 Vinnie der Pooh. I think you’ll like T -2, T -1 I dunno... T minus zero same thing, but at that point I won’t be caring :)

Hah, I just got back from Winnipeg (well, just north of it by Gimli). Lovely place.

Tbh I’m not exactly in love with the place, but you can’t choose where the relatives live... Not bad for a week and the drive makes it worth it though

So is this a journey your taking, daily commute or best of driving roads for opening the taps on your car.

Countdown to a road trip accompanied by Street View screengrabs of the planned route.

They look like good open stretches but are there are more involving parts where you can get the car bent a little?

There are, and lots, but due to the sheer size of the country there’s enough space between them that they’re kind of hard to pick out, and nothing that would compare to an English backroad. I’ll have a try at finding some for you though.

There is a little more interesting territory I’m routing through as well... no Street View on those sections, but here’s a similar road in the same general area:

From here heading west:

That’s pretty much the best I can do just by looking at the map. There are better stretches but it’s hard to pin them down. This is pretty close to normal though, like I said the scale of everything here compared to the UK make the roads more “fast car fast” or “medium car mediocre handling fast” (aka “pickup truck fast”—guess what I’m driving :D ) than slow car fast.

You’ll have to take a GoPro (or similar) and post videos when you do it.

There are roads around me where you can open the taps and give the car some beans but the country roads will have your butt twitching every few seconds even at 20-30mph due to all the bends and narrow passes.

I’ll have a dash cam but I don’t do youtube or any other video sharing site. Nor do I intend to start now. I’ll have pictures though, and maybe a few gifs :)
