Shahzad Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 I stumbled across the A57 snakes pass last night on my way to Manchester from Sheffield. What a great road!It would be good to organise a starlet club cruise in the near future. Here is a bit of info if you dont know about ithttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_PassAnyone know of roads similar to snakes pass?Anyone up for a cruise?Shahzad Quote
Hou Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Great road (minus the potholes) which I stumbled upon when I first got the MR2Not sure why you would want a cruise down it though Quote
Amjad Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Someone on here had a major accident there didn't they? Can't remember the username, Black Turbo'd SR I think it was?Sorry, off topic but it just came to mind Quote
ro55ifumi Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Last time i went over i snapped the intercooler brackets after taking a little air!!!!!John Quote
lukEp Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 it was bourkey who had the accident there..... nearly lost his life to.... ended up under his car after being ripped out of it while wearing his seatbelt and left the buckle in the clip bit. its a good road when its clear or not closed off due to accidents!

raffa_mk Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 More nevagtives than positives on this route, only worth it if road and weather conditions are good Quote
sharksy Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 it used to be a great road to drive on. was on it earlier this year and i couldnt believe the state of it, i nearly crashed into a stone wall because of the mega pot-holes - on the initial steep descent coming from glossop. cracked my exhaust in two places.

Starlet__SR Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Woodhead pass is far better, smoother roads and less dangerous. Bourkey was going too fast and overtaking when he had his accident. The road is fine. Its just how you treat it. D Quote
rob_bower Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Not been over snake pass fir years tend to use woodhead when going to Manchester! Both nice roads though on the right day! Quote
Shahzad Posted October 12, 2011 Author Posted October 12, 2011 Maybe not a good place to take the starlet then Quote
