Grossglockner first timer
Discussion
As part of trip to Austria I decided on a whim to hire a car for the weekend and drive 't top.
Local rental place had not much choice so beggars being choosers I picked an Abarth 595 as the most likely fun and it turned out to be a hoot in sport mode.
Weekend trip coincided with a massive Vespa tour of thousands of nutters many of whom didn't reach the top or almost died trying.
The views were stunning, the road fabulous. The little Fiat was fun, altho the brakes were steaming after a proper hard thrash up and back down. 200 euro for 2 days fun. Would have loved to do it in my R8 but this was cool tbh. 30c at the bottom and 3c at the top.
Saw many fast bikes, many decent cars on there and just generally lapped it up, fabulous motoring fun.
