I love it. I used to drive through it as quickly as I possibly could (when my parents were not watching!). Pretending to be a rally driver! Quite a driving challenge which I preferred to do in my Sud with front wheel drive.

Souvenir, souvenir...the Sud, not the road I have never driven through...I got two Ti's and a sprint in the 80's. I loved them.

I always found that there was a loon in an Alfa Sud coming the other way…

😊

I walked up to the Roman fort about 18 months ago (July), and the amount of traffic coming down off the top means that larking around like Paddy Hopkirk is no longer an option.

Not driven the pass in an Alfa, but a couple of Land Rover products and two Morgans (oh and a Rover 214 when our planned holiday trip by m/cycle to Ireland failed) :)  Love the road, but preferably out of holiday season :D
