I figured I'd balance the Deadly roads with a query on some of your favorite drives. Or Dream Drives, as it were..;)
I came across this today in my deadly road search, and although it looks a bit daunting, good lord that's a beautiful looking piece of road!:eek::thumbsup: The Stelvio Pass Road in the Italian Alps. Very close to the Swiss border, and built between 1820 and 1825, it's 60 hairpins have even thrown Sterling Moss off the road in a 'Classics' event in the 90's.
There are some amazing passes in a lot of the Alps from Norway to Italy, many of which are older than some towns in North America. Jeremy and the boys at Top Gear named it the greatest 'Drivers' road ever:thumbsup: No, I haven't driven it:rolleyes: But it's certainly on the list:D
