Last year whilst working near to Bergamo, in northern Italy, I managed to blagg a company car one Sunday for a brief tour into the Alps (550 km). The highlight was to drive over Stelvio, which is the second highest pass in Europe at about 2760m.
I've just come across a Lotus Owners club site, www.stelvio.org.uk which shows some photos of the northern side of Stelvio pass. This is real driving country and not a yellow flack jacket or speed camera in sight.
If you click on the Stelvio videos link, http://www.daveakerman.com/~tchurly/2003.wmv it shows some lucky sod in a Lotus Elise tanning the **** off it, driving south up the austrian side.
Does someone have a Mini Cooper S going spare? Coz i'd be off on me hols.
