Driving up and down the west coast road (Castries to Soufriere), which usually isn't too bad pothole wise is a lot of fun. The road is generally high, narrow and very twisty with lots of dropoffs so you don't hit very high speeds, but you can definitely get the adrenaline flowing! Down south in Vieux Fort, there are a few miles of very wide, smooth concrete that used to be an old air force base and that is where local speed freaks can really let it all hang out.

Up north and around Rodney Bay, where I live, the Cobra mostly cruises around with short early morning high speed blasts at Pigeon Point, as long as there is no other traffic in sight. Where there's a will, there's a way and with no real traffic enforcement, one has to exercise his own sound judgement. It's easy enough to get into an accident here with an ordinary car, let alone a mean lil' brute like a Cobra!
