Is that the stelvio (or something like that) pass in Italy???

[Mint_Sauce]

:smitten:

[jimbo]

Doesn't look steep enough for the stelvio(how ever it's spelt) could be in scotland!

That's not the Stelvio Pass. Stelvio is much steeper as in the pic

If you're ever in the Chamonix area :Plug: take the Mont Blanc tunnel to italy, then head SW on the road to Bourg St Maurice, going up in Italy is loads of very tight hairpins :eek: then it opens up in to the kind of roads in the photo, then you even up and fly over the top past a little shack thats the border in to France

I'd hardly seen another car and then out of the gloom thundered around 50 bikers :cool:

Going down the other side is a bit scary, fast stretches then hairpins with big drop offs. I recommend you're driving something a little pokier than a 1.5 diesel Clio, and take some passengers who don't keep saying slow down :wack:

[Sibbers]

whoa! :eek:

TOTALLY AWESOME !!!

[manic_mechanic]

Lovely (esp. in a classic sportscar!)

[Lennie]

I saw that and i just want to take my car and bike there for a burn. :cool:

[shadowninja]

not much run-off is there :D

[gaz.thomas]

The year before I bought my x1/9 - the owners' club did a trip to the factory in Torino via the alps. Several of the cars were equipped with CB radios and the the guys slightly further back would use them as an overtaking aid...which made for some panic-stricken looks from artic drivers as a convoy of little rhd sports cars would pull out and overtake them on the other side of the road into a blind bend into a tunnel :D

I've taken one of those along there.

It was ok, I suppose :indiff:

























:wack:

[Vez]

Tablot Sunbeam wasnt on that list JB you old codger! :wack:

[Sabrex]

If you want a scary drive like that goto national park in Windamere it looks just like that - i went up with my other half with L plates on a ford escort , i was glad i wasnt in the 200sx its was 90o D drops and hills - scary.
We lost a L plate it just blew off with the 90 mile an hour wind.

Edit: I forgot to add theres no room for 2 way cars so if someone is like comeing the other way - your FU**ED :wack:

Im never going back there. It was windy and it was "mere" nightmere

[mikegsi]

would be a lot of fun, beasting a car along that, safe in the knowledge that nothing is coming the other way obviously!! :notworthy

[gaz.thomas]

Fish Hill in the cotswolds is fun aswell. :wack:

I think I know where you mean, when I was learning to drive it was the only time my dad warned me "don't go too fast down here". heh-heh-heh :wack:

[SFC]

Top Gear use the road between Llangattock and Beaufort regularly.

That one at the top looks nice but there's plenty around here to keep me happy.

Just outside Hay on Wye, looking at Lord Hereford's Knob :D

[Genjuro]

Yes please.

http://ruckus.bikepics.com/picofday/pic-of-day-07-08.jpg

Thats awesome, the bends just scream 'drift'. :D

[FullMetalGasket]

Isn't that one of the St. Bernard passes?

I'd love to have a go at that, maybe in a caterham :nod:

[paul]

:D
Thats awesome, the bends just scream 'drift off the edge' :eek:

[Leon]

so, where is it?

I think i'd do it in a classic sports car. You wouldn't want to rush the experience. 0-60 in about 6.0 would be about right I think for that...
or a Harley/classic tourer. oh man would that be good

that looks suspicously like a part of Ireland, esp judging by the rock pattern...

[John D]

My ultimate road to drive my 200 down is this one:

http://www.escapeartist.com/efam/46/bolivia432.gif

About as extreme as it gets... :nod:
Prefferably drifting it all the way!! :wack:

[Lennie]

dunno where it is i just though it looked good. :D

[dobergoose]

I took my 200 to the alps after owning it for 2 weeks, can't reccomend it enough the roads surfaces are mostly in fantastic condition and in September we hardly met another car, just the odd tour bus. Furka pass and Grimsel Pass is a fantastic route from any direction, been back since and it gets better every time, though that might be to do with my suspension not being standard second time round. :wack:

[Algie]

How about this...

http://ecycletours.com/images/Images02/SwitzDigitals/Splugapass%20twisty%20roads.JPG

It's in Switzerland and called 'Splugapass' I think :wack: :D

For a downhill drift road :thumbs:

Whereas this...

http://www.bamjam.net/Madeira/images/costa4.jpg

Probably wouldn't make a very good drift venue :eek:

Alg :nod:

[Genjuro]

Thats superb. Theres a track a bit like that in Initial D actually (both the game and series), they end up clipping the corners and 'jumping' down.

[Matt_JD]

Ahhhh - our good friend Google, searched on Stevio and Images

http://home8.inet.tele.dk/cgregers/images/photos/stelvio.jpg
