I think the Furka pass is overated; much prefer the Susten pass.

Can't view it. The link comes up with 'This video is private'.

It's a great road but probably the most dangerous one I've driven to date. Narrow and often blind on the east side, wider and a real blast on the west. Sadly, our GoPro ran out of juice before we got to the section where we could give it a bit of welly

Here's my effort: Disclaimer- no heroic driving!

Lot of bleeps there! smile I like your one of the crater in Cape Verde. We've been twice but haven't done the tour yet.

"I'm not sure what that was."

You mean the orange car @ 1:48? Really?

The east side is a bit narrow to have much fun on, but that view looking over to Grimsel is just cloud9

I know it was a KTM of some kind. It's surprising the words that come out of your mouth when concentrating on something else. It's also surprising the words that come out of your wife's on a road like the Furka lol

Agreed, but would add the Nufenen Pass to that too.
