Raider Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Apologies it's so early and the RBRR hasn't even happened yet but how I wish it was 10CR time again.OK so I am currently on holiday in Lake Garda and have driven the Furka pass today - that might have something to do with it Just saying - that's all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kin74 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Martin, if you're looking for nice roads to drive (and you haven't been there yet) don't miss the "Strada della Forra" in Tremosine! Some videos: https://www.youtube.com/results?q=brasa+schluchtThe whole southern area, with hills and castles, is enjoyable too.Are you there (well, I should say here) with a classic car?

Gone and got all unnecessary! 😀Well as I type this I am doing a recce on the Rhine. From my hotel room with view of said river I can of course see the barges and cruise ships but also the trains rattling by just over the road between us and the river It has been quite a holiday road trip really very like a 10CR.
