Hmmmmm...... lots of the roads are hairpin turn, straightaway, hairpin turn... repeat time and time again.

A few offer a lot of different types of turns, which is what I would enjoy more.

Give me a lot of different turns, and I'm the happiest!
Jeese, At first I thought some guys are hard to please. But then I remembered that you struggle with the straights.

Hope to see ya Dave....( early June ).

I've admired the Stelvio Pass for a long time. This is the number one road for me, lots of great turns, but lots of straights as well, and a great view. It helps that I'm Italian too, though the Northern Italians would just hate my southern Calabrese slang

Here's one of my favourite videos , featuring one of the best cars in the world driving on one of the best roads in the world. If your pants are still dry after watching this then you must not have a heartbeat.

Happy birthday you old tit twister.
The forum is quiet because the Post whores are too old to keep up the pace.

It had to happen some time.
