[gary_de_tam]

My god ! did you see those roads.... awesome

[fozzy79]

Couldn't stop smiling. Those roads were just awesome, must visit next year

[bartesque]

I feel a road trip coming

[Gruffy]

Every single one of those roads (and lots of better ones) are part of the FB5K Alpine Tour.

[Kibosh]

Well you'll need accomodation then.

Here's the route from our rental flat on Lake Como to The Stelvio Pass.

You ought to try Spain - they didn't mention it 'cos they haven't been - but there are some roads in the Gredos Mountains and the Picos which are fantastic. The road from Merida to Talavera de la Reina is also brilliant!-some of us TVR chaps are going to give them a bit of further exploration next Spring.

Yeah, but if you expect me to red-line it on those freakin' hairpins like Jezza and The Hamster (not sure about Captainn Slow) were doing, I ain't coming!

[X8 Saggy]

do they shut the roads or are the roads always that quiet?

[Gruffy]

If you time the journey well then you'll find the roads as clear as that, even at the height of summer.

[OscarT]

Not any more.

Absolutley not! Roads in Spain are wider and no-one drives flat chat into hairpins on the wrong side of the road with no idea what's coming. Those shots on Top Gear would have been carefully set up with lots of guys on walkie talkies telling the drivers when the road was clear. If you want to redline it in hairpins there's a great circuit at Guadix and we'll be there too!

Sorry watching Postman Pat tonight.

You're driving with the wrong crowd Jasper

Nice to see you're coming along on the trip next year Lee, you'll love it.
