Here is a brilliant little road thats lots of fun on the way home from work for me everyday.

Constitution Road in Windsor coming out of the city on Lutwyche Road just turn left just before the Office Works at Windsor.

Its a great shortcut to get to Days Road at the Grange.

Its got three hairpin turns and a straight the hairpins are all uphill and the straight is downhill.

Just be careful on the hairpins as there are usually cars parked everywhere on both sides of the road and pedestrians crossing at peak hour.

Apart from that is a brilliant little run for an MX5. :D

Also I was wrong there are 5 hairpin turns in this road.

Hmm, just to clarify, a hairpin turn is 180 degrees. None of those on that road, but probably 5 or so 90 degree turns :) A good little detour though none the less.

For hairpins on the north side, try Grays Rd at Ascot - there's two of them on there, and it's a reasonably steep climb too so you won't be breaking any speed limits.

I drove Constitution Road for the first time last week. Both directions on my way to and from MX5 Plus :) It is a fun bit of road.
