@chap I do not. Seems like a fun crew to hook up with!
They are from the US. Brock Keen (in front of the 996) is 996roadtrip on Instagram. He became quite famous touring the US with his 996 and a roof tent. They all came over to Europe and we had a couple of trips in Switzerland, France, Austria and Italy. Yeah was great fun with them.

@Chap beautiful photos - which road is this? looks to be a joy to drive.
Thanks, that's Passo di Stelvio or Stilfser Joch a pretty famous alpine road in northern Italy. Was featured in Top Gear in 2007 I think, Jeremy Clarkson named it the „world greatest driving road“ in that episode.

Stelvio pass is still the dream. one day..

Bike or car thru the pass @louisbosco ?
The journey is the objective.

Any Subie bros in here? I owned 7 before turning into Toyota guy. Now they dropped this 'concept', which is less concepty than their usual concepts, and looks more production ready. It seems like it SHOULD be almost exactly what i've been hoping for, bring back the hatch, 6MT turbo boxer, widebody....but i'm not in love with it. It seems a bit childish to me. Maybe its the bad wing or the overstyled bumpers. Thoughts?
-
@motojobobo for hairpins like this, its much more enjoyable with a car.. there are other mountain passes where I'll happily pick a bike such as grimsel pass.

If you ever plan to do it ask me when it's the best time. It can be a huge mess and super disappointing especially during holidays or summer weekends when masses of people, cyclists, motorbikes, cars and my very special friends camper vans create a huge traffic jam. The turns are quite narrow it's easier and much more fun when it is not too crowded.

@Chap Nice to match the brake pads with the window shutters.
-
@Subprime that's clean! I have a soft spot for W203 and W211 Mercs
-
@Chap definitely mate. I've seen videos where people tour in peak summer and the whole pass is a parking garage full of what you've mentioned.
if only we can have the whole pass empty just like when top gear filmed it haha

@louisbosco I had that once, well alomst. Late September on a weekday in the early morning. Fog in the valley blue sky on the top, already too chiily for cyclists, road still a bit wet so nor motorbikes, just a Aston Martin group from the UK, some locals.. and me. It was brilliant.
