Personally I prefer those type of roads, slow tight corners where you are constantly cornering. I prefer that to cornering at high speed.

There is a road very near me that is probably even twistier than that one. The road up to Glen Clova. You go up one route and back down another. Only downside is that it is a bit narrow and lots of suicidal bunnies and sheep.
Another brilliant road like that is the A702 near Dumfries. Very twisty bits and awesome views

Pretty much any of the roads on the glencoe massacre rideout... that loop round the lake was very entertaining.
