A couple of videos from my driving holiday

Post by Scotty » Sat Oct 09, 2004 1:30 pm

I've only just got around to sorting out some of the footage.

The first is having a bit of fun in the Alps with a 911 (996) Turbo cabriolet. He pulled over after 20 minutes and then once I'd gone past followed on a few minutes later (I saw him when I looked back up the mountain). Maybe he didn't like not getting away from a 4 door saloon!
If he'd know we had a boot full of luggage (we were on our holiday) he'd probably have been even less happy!

The second one is a few minutes of video of us driving up the Stelvio Pass. It's one of the highest passes in the Alps (around 2,700M I think) and it a great drive with excellent views. When I got to the top a German tourist told me that he heard us coming up the mountain so watched us come all the way up. He loved the V8 noise and Audi quattro cars in general. It's his voice you hear right at the end.

Enjoy the vids. ;-)

Nice vids Scotty.

I've done that pass on a bike and it is superb. Their sense of protection barriers are a bit strange though, eh.
Some of the passes have only one bollard every 30 feet protecting a 200m sheer drop. :shock:
Still, it focuses the mind a bit :wink:

Co-pilot indeed ! My missus normally comes out with things like "ooh, look at that lovely waterfall over there...". Not much help when to take your eyes off the road would be very dodgy :lol:
