Lovely Video Jackal tks for sharing. Is that you in the yellow 993?

Great video, my mates and I have something like this on our collective bucket list! Final year of uni coming up, so excellent motivation to work that little bit harder!

I think it is.

If so, what's the deal with the yellow cord/cable hanging from the passenger-side roof? Did the extensive re-fit include an ejector seat?

Nice vid.

Driving naked! Looked like James May in Aston driving he alps with no aircon

Ledge video, that actually put a grin on my face, same situation as one of the guys above; in uni, and things like this make me hit the books. Need a GT3 in my future...

Starting from the home of great wine to some lovely windy roads. Great video, nice editing, thanks for sharing.

[avaF1]

look like a lot of fun....petrol.... sun.....

great transition at 1min25!
were parts sped up? around 2min50 mark

[jackal]

cheers guys

yellow cable is the charging lead for my cage mounted bluetooth speaker !


very few clips were sped up, just a couple here and there by about 10%

not at 2.50 though, nor any footage from the yellow peril for that matter

[Wozy68]

Fantastic video.

I'd estimate I've driven 80-90% of those roads ....... and I recognised them immediately which is a bit bizarre.

Glad you did the Col de Nargo ....... aint it great?. Going further east from there is almost as good and stunning.

I hopefully should be over there this September, but am a little unsure what to go in. A refreshed 993 C2 or Honda CB1000R that should be with me next week. Decisions decisions

I can never understand the reason to own a fast car (or bike) in the UK if you never drive/ride abroad. An utter waste of car and time IMO if you don't. Once completed, the UK roads will seem utterly congested and naff for evermore.

Well done that man.

[Solarized]

Fantastic.
Thank you.

Hi Woz, all amazing roads eh ? One you may not know is the C1412b (Ponts to Tremp). We stumbled across this by accident and it was the day I was in the Scud. One of the finest in the whole of europe, just incredible.

We are all off again to Scotland in september. As you allude to, these trips have become a huge part of my life now and a lot centres around them. Got to get myself a new steed for next June !

Hello matey

Ponts to Tremp? Absolutly.

I know this road well, great twisties in places, very fast in others, empty road and pretty damn fantastic. Heading south from Adrall you get to a roundabout just before Ponts and it is the 1st exit off back on yourself for the road to Tremp if memory serves.

I got stopped on that roundabout at a Police (Guardia Civil) checkpoint. This cop checked the car over and asked me to raise the rear seats so he could check the interior. Having some big gun totting Spanish fella tapping his pump action shotgun against your paintwork was a little scary whilst he got more agitated as I tried to explain after I lifted the rear hatch for him, that a 968CS doesn't have rear seats, let alone fold down ones.

Thankfully a rather attractive (Herself a pump action rifle carrying) English speaking female officer came over and sorted it all out. My so called two mates were nowhere to be seen.

Glad you found that road matey. Isn't just the case, even the roads that are classed as minor have mostly fab tarmac and are great great driving roads.

You need to Check the C13 (The last 20 miles of the southern end of it) next time your there, brilliant road and similar to the Tremp-Ponts road and no traffic. Brings you out near a place called Sant Jordi De Muller, from there you can head north east to Ponts. However there is a turnoff for Tremp before getting there, and that's a fantastic road also. Damn they are all fantastic roads.
