for one post in two years...that's a good one...great pic..

 

Normally just a voyeur on this forum, never had the time to post, thread, etc.

Too busy exploring, this was my 3rd multi day Euro trip in same amount of years, if any of you guys wish got some great shots of "proper" passes and nonsense, but don't want to send you too sleep!

FWIW

11 Countries
7 Days
4,500 miles
Snow, Floods, 30c+!
No speeding tickets or accidents
Track day at Hungaroring F1 Circuit
And lots of fun!!!


Thanks Chuck

 

I think you should write up the entire trip with more pics and it would be a contender for thread of the year...JMHO

 

Would enjoy sharing

Taster of a great pass.....the Stelvio Pass, Italy

Nice pictures , what tyres were you running?

 

+1!

And that Stelvio Pass looks like fun!

By the way, great looking car

 

more pics!

 

+1 let's have more of this....

 

MPSC, simply the best tyre, perhaps not for cross country skiing though!!

Did you know Michelin are bring out a "new" MPSC tyre at the end of the summer called MPSC version II especially for the new 2010 model.

MPSC don't last long but once there has been a couple of heat cycles run through them I just love them JMHO.

We had, snow, as you can see, torrential rain for best part of three days and 4 days of heat.

Even at the Hungaroring, Scott Mansell, the instructor commented on how fantastically well the car handled on the track and the grip was "like s**t to a blanket" please excuse the words. It's a stock car no mods, I find they are very grippy and very progressive.

 

The Stelvio Pass is on my list of roads to drive before I die! Gotta love all those switchbacks.

 

I second that!!

 

Now thats my kind of road! Any more teasers? It may be time to move out of Ca. I think I may be calling up Rosstetta Stone and brushing up on my Italian!

 

The Stelvio is also great fun to ski down...but that is another story.

 

OK,

got back down to Davos from the snowed up Fluelpass, took local tip and drove 20 mins to Klosters and caught snow tunnel train through mountain to other side of pass, cost 24CHF but not as much fun!
