You should, I can recommend the roads around the Tyrol area which are awesome and some more great driving between Imst and Lake Vomo today. Also looking forward to the next stage on Tursday as we go to Grindelwald taking in the Gottard, Furka and Grimsel passes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beautiful roads and beautiful scenery. ....along with New Zealand :-) This shot was NOT taken at the scenic part.... Taken ih Huia, which is just a 20 minute drive from my home in West Auckland. (It's sure beats Croydon & Crawley where I grew up). 6 Quote Rich Miles - Social Media Coordinator - Club Lotus New Zealand www.clublotus.org.nz CLNZ Facebook Page Here CLNZ YouTube Channel Here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was thinking about heading there this week (if that's where your photo is) Oh the luxury of two weeks off with nothing better to do. Scotland is winning this thread. BEWARE! - Advance warning - I'm heading to Mallaig and back tomorrow so keep all your fluffy little kittens away from the roads.

PaulCP 412 Report post Posted September 6, 2016 Maloja Pass, south of St Moritz and another from today Arrived at at the hotel in Grindelwald, one that we've used before, where the owners' son was waiting for us so that he could have a ride in the Evora. (knowing the hotel I'd phoned ahead to ask for a wide parking space). His verdict afterwards, "much better than the Porsches and Aston Martin he'd been in before" 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alfa2Evora 629 Report post Posted September 6, 2016 @PaulCP These pics have got my memory bank working overtime. A few years back (in the twilight period of my many Alfa ownerships), we spent a week zig-zagging along the Alps in a 159, starting at the Col de Turini and ending up at the Grossglockner. You've now got me itching to do it all again in the Evora, . Same bit of the Maloja from a slightly different angle............. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PaulCP 412 Report post Posted September 7, 2016 @Alfa2Evora When we get back home I will post a thread highlighting all of the routes & passes we have done on this trip in Austria, Italy & Switzerland along with a few more pics. The Evora is the ideal car to do it in although being able to take the roof off at certain points would have been an advantage. Roll on the Evora Roadster Eurotrip next year anyone? 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alfa2Evora 629 Report post Posted September 7, 2016 As threatened promised earlier, a selection of shots from my run up to Mallaig and back. Unfortunately it tipped it down somewhat for almost all of the outward leg so by the time the first opportunity to wield a camera presented itself my P&J was considerably less gleaming than when it left home, having by then already endured 150+ miles of mud and road-grime, .

When you mentioned it yesterday David I thought you meant you were heading up in the lorry, I would've taken a run up with you! Note to self: Make intentions clearer next time. Sorry, Colin. A 2 Evora mini-convoy would have stopped traffic, judging by the reactions my solo appearance created. Even the cop in the layby at the southern end of Glencoe lowered the speed gun from in front of his eyes so he could watch me drive past, - just as well he wasn't a couple of miles further back, . 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
