Re: Pork, Strudel & Cheese With Holes - a road trip :-)
Roof has been down all the time whilst driving since Maidstone, even at, ahem, higher than average speed on the 'bahn.
I have no problem with my exhaust, on the way back through that tunnel I found 3rd gear at 70mph - heaven
We've not posted any pics yet as we've really not had time... However I have nicked one of Tom's taken at about 7am this morning at the top of Route 500 - one of the top 10 best driving roads in Europe apparently. I'm sure he won't mind... We should be very clear that shortly before this nobody was flashed by a camera, and ZermattV did not terminate a mountain hare with his bumper.
I do love ass...

Well, the roof would be down for for Bing & Jax, and I guess Rob had the targa roof off... the joy of a convertible...pvr wrote:At 30c today and so far sunshine every day, the roof has been down permanently.

Nice to see a bit of class in amongst the fat-ass porkers though Bing... just such a pity that Jax spoilt the look by parking his Boxter the wrong way 'round...Bing wrote:

Re: Pork, Strudel & Cheese With Holes - a road trip :-)
So, quick update before bed. What a drive. Seriously - we've already travelled three days to get to this point, it had to be worth it. And it was. Even though it pissed down. I don't think words do this country, or the roads we have driven today, any justice at all. The whole place is awesome - I'm pretty sure scenery doesn't get much bigger. There are loads more photos, but here's a 3 or 4 to keep you interested, shamelessly stolen from Wee Bing :
On the way up to Susten Pass :
There is a small furry beaver under my car in this shot, more to follow on that - but it's mate scared the living daylight a out of me when I got out the car...
This is at the top of Susten Pass :
Tunnels. So many tunnels - it's a grown up child's dream
I have to say, whatever you think about Porsche, they got the exhaust right for sure
As you'd expect, Mr Scott has way more, way better photos, but they'll be a while coming. Worth waiting for though, I can assure you.
Team PVR & Bing have a huge trip back from Savognin to Calais tomorrow, whilst Jax, Tom & Zermatt head off to Modena. It will be a sad parting, I really wish we were staying on now . However, there's always Norway next year
More to follow tomorrow and in coming days

Re: Pork, Strudel & Cheese With Holes - a road trip :-)
Great photos, you guys are so lucky. Love driving in the Alps & the Susten Pass has to be one of the best.
Norway is great too but only driven there in a mini-bus with 10 burly geologists in the back
