Or the Grand St Bernard pass perhaps? 2019 is the 50th anniversary of the Miura getting trashed, after all

And me - although unlike you fuel-injection boys I will probably be chugging away with around 20 bhp at altitude - carbs only work efficiently at one altitude, sea level in my case

Don't forget we have to come back, surely we can do a different route?

Oh I don't know - for petrolheads it might be quite fun, although I suppose you have to put up with motorhomes and caravans and stuff most of the time!
It's a really good photo, looks completely surreal. You've been checking out places to stay, obviously

Morning
Yes ,but as that hotel is famous it comes at a price. But I did find some really well priced places before and in the middle of some of the passes too
plus one just down the road from the Ferrari museum .

I’m glad the idea has generated some interest I’m sure between us all we can come up with a superb route and itinerary.
Looks like I’d better get on with the Sud if I’m going to get it finished in time.

Looks nice with the 5-spoke Revos. Not 4WD by any chance???

No, not 4wd for me, give me all the power and I'll sort the steering out!
The 14" rfx will be coming off and for sale just as soon as i can have it rolling round on something else.
I've earmarked some 16" borbet A's, or 5 spoke 155 speedlines as possibilities that i have already in stock, but time will tell and i could easily change my mind!

Love the SW mate.
My old S2 Veloce had those wheels and was the same Champagne colour.
