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 down the other side rounding a hairpin curve was a horse drawn buggy with a couple dressed in what appeared to be traditional Mennonite attire...

Pass driving in the Alps - Elise in her natural element
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...

Superb, Don.
Davos... Wasn' t that the place of Thomas Mann's " Magic Mountain "? I am very attracted by these road trips, lately. With a Vintage car, or something exotic like this Elise. Fantastic moment shared with us. Thank you so much! Best, Nicolas.
Whaoo Don!.......
Looks just like Western Australia, outside Perth:) Are you Vaudois Don? A+ Francois
Yes Don it is indeed....
Hence my asking, your name doesn't read "Vaudois":) by the way I really enjoyed your making of "A" screw post. Now..are you " un Vaudois?" If you are where are you from? I grew up in Saint Cergue above Nyon! Cheers Francois
Non, mais La Givrine je connais tres bien.....
There is a restaurant " La Givrine" and the owner is like my brother! A+, Francois
such great memories brought back! thank You Don
while a student in La Tour de Peilz , all week ends were source of driving fun in the mountains, it did cost me some friendships with la police Vaudoise but hey no risk no fun! Thank you very much for your great report and fantastic photos. Best regards L...
Grimselpass, July 2012
This July, I spent a few days in Switzerland, primarily to visit the Ulysse Nardin manufacture. Before, I met a friend near Brienz, not very far from Lucerne: http://un1.watchprosite.com/img/watchprosite/un1/48/scaled/un1_image.2918948.jpg The weather cou...
All those wonderful switchbacks and the poor train had to go straight ...
All those wonderful switchbacks and the poor train had to go straight through the tunnel. Great pictures Marcus! The list of passes here is just too long, I don't know where to go next. 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...
