Just got back from an awesome tour of the Dolomites.

Some amazing roads, incredible scenery and outstanding cars. Loved every second.

Now back in the office and having a huge come down, so thought I'd share some pics on here!














And a little video of the Manghen Pass:

Wonderful roads
Wonderful pictures
Wonderful car
Wonderful thread thumbup

The come down from roads trips is crazy. Takes me a couple of days to get back into work mode. Do you catch yourself reliving certain sections of the trip? I know I do. Then I start working out when I can get back out there again biggrin

What a fantastic looking trip and car. Don't mind admitting that I saw pics of your car online which encourage me to go with a LO GT3....and put some R style stripes on it.

Saw this on Twitter great to see an R with good company out in their natural driving habitat not sitting in a garage.

Have a PH pint on me.

Fantastic pictures and looks like you had great weather too. I had an alpine trip a couple of weeks ago driving through France and many of Switzerland’s best roads before getting to Bormio. It’s a pity that the weather was lousy and it made the driving a bit of a challenge (as a guy in a Nissan GTR in front of me found out - inches away from binning it!).

Still had some great weather cycling some of the passes round Bormio.

The R has no right to look so utterly fantastic in Guards. Never would have thought it works this well
