Great pictures Marcus!
The list of passes here is just too long, I don't know where to go next.

Pass driving in the Alps - Elise in her natural element Although coming from the flatlands of East Anglia, Elise has the footing of a mountain goat. So off we went to let her run a little. From the Swiss middle valley up to Oberengadin using the Julier Pa...
Fantastic Report and Scenery :-)
I really like the color scheme of your Elise, Very Very Cool :-) S
Looks like a fantastic, if not uncomfortable, road trip
Thanks for the amazing photos which have got me thinking about skiing again.
One of my dreams ...
to get a really sporty car and then to take the road from Davos up to the Stilfser Joch and back and for and back ... Maybe I should show your great post to my wife. Maybe it could be helpful ... :-) Thanks, for sharing! Oliver
Great car for a trip like that.
Enjoyed your photographs too. You\'ve captured the mountain driving quite well. We tried to film some of the twisties but none of them worked terribly well. The funniest was two up on a scooter in Capri she captured the drive perfectly by filming a closeu...
Great pics and roads, Don, looking forward to more. My personal favorite...
so far (I have yet to try St. Gottard, St. Bernard, and Stelvio) is Grimsel and Furka pass The roads around Vevey are great too, if not exactly pass roads... Carl, we had a time machine moment when we were climing up the Furkas Pass in the 599 and coming ...
Superb, Don.

Mouthwatering my friend.
It seems you live in the right place to drive that car ... . I can only dream (well you know what i mean) of driving thru roads like that, it takes me a day of driving at mostly boring highways to reach those roads .... . Thanks for the beautiful pics ! F...
