Yeah, the most challenging part is the 15 mile stretch up the mountainside though.

Be careful Kirsty or I'll sell you to some greasy Italians for a tank of V-Power.

You're looking at it the wrong way.

4 Hours to Dover
4 Hours to the Ring
4 Hours to mine for sausages and beer.
4 hours to the Pass.

When you put it like that it seems ok! Just the thought of doing about 2000 miles in a few days! (going there and back).

wonder what mpg I would get going along the pass [/deano]

It is North Italy.

4 hours from where I live in Germany, which is where I will be driving to next year.
