I lived and worked on and around the stretch between Bedford and Kimbolton for 10 years or so - fun is exactly the right word for it. I never got to travel on it in a really fast car, but knowing the exact speed at which to take every bend, and stringing the whole road together fluidly from start to finish, was extremely satisfying even in a non-turbo diesel Octavia!
The road was recommended in one of the bike magazines a while back as being in the UK's top 10 roads for getting a knee down - and as the other 9 were all a long way north, it attracts the loony fringe motorcyclists from all over the South East on holidays and high days. Which in turn attract a strong police presence and, all too frequently, ambulances and recovery trucks.
