I would say make a decent diversion and go to THE mountain pass...
Stelvio! :)

Quite simply the finest "road" you can ever drive along.
Just remember to use engine braking! ;)

I will never forget Mr DTM showing me how to drive down that pass... amazing.  8-)

At least it won't be my car!  :D

And that makes you happy - you need the estate on that


Eh? Its about an hours drive to where i will be staying to Austria, little POS car will do just fine.... tis only me and a mate going!


You need a car not a POS

I can fly to Slovina for £75, car hire is £92 for the week, its cheaper to fly and rent, not to mention time saved.

I agree with Stelvio, but get a car with a decent power to weight ratio. Remember you'll lose quite a lot of grunt at the top.
