@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.

Ended up behind this guy on the way home from Nottingham yesterday. Couldn’t catch him to ask if he fancied a straight swop for my 22 plate Vauxhall Vivaro work van.

@DeeDee85 …should have just given him a gentle love tap at one of the lights so you could discuss the trade.

@goosehd had a few things going through my head, he’d have got off lightly with a gentle love tap

Stelvio pass is still the dream. one day..

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.

@DeeDee85 - How did she sound?

The yellow looks shit. For £2.5m I would give it a lick of paint.

@Chap Nice to match the brake pads with the window shutters.

[louisbosco]

@Subprime that's clean! I have a soft spot for W203 and W211 Mercs

[louisbosco]

@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.

I’ve driven just over 2.5k km in my toy since ownership
Probably going to sell it due to complete lack of use for what it should be used for
An 8 km round trip school run isn’t making the most out of it really

[NickD]

@Brian Same reason my 911 and Ducati went, I just didn't get enough use out of them to warrant keeping them.

[DeeDee85]

@Bridger agreed, the green on the official Aston ad is much nicer.. and.. sounded like a fighter jet with gear changes

Not only did I not miss this moment but it’s where the total mileage landed at the end of my drive home tonight. Must’ve picked up this number thing from my dad!

I snapped something similar a few months ago.
