Thanks for the tour
If you were going any faster I could have been carsick.
I like the Austin Healey 3000 stopped on the side. Possibly overheating (engine if coming up or brakes if going down) and driver says “Let’s stop and stretch our legs” before the heating is terminal OR the body was flexing on the hairpin turns and he said “Let’s stop and I’ll tie that door shut before someone falls out”.
How do I know?
More glorious in name - the Furka pass 🇨🇭
Continuing with the Alpine pass series, the next one to be featured is the Furka pass. I believe most people with something of an automotive vein will recognize the switchback with a hotel nestled into it - it has appeared in James Bond as well as in most...

Too funny - I guess having ample experience with the cars of that generation leads to…
An ‘it takes time me to know one’ situation I am glad you enjoyed the virtual ride!
Fabulous dive …
The scenery is spectacular. I can almost smell the tyres and brakes from here ��
On the descent there was not much to smell…
Given how slow it was - unfortunately. On the ascent it was a different story with the correct smells
In that region, you have to try the Nufenen pass
Not well known, so often less traffic And then afterwards. You take the great road to our house in the alps, it is really not far from these passes. And the road is more like a rally stage, so quite enjoyable ��. Going from 500m to 1200m. Ch...
There’s a great recommendation for the next trip 👍🏻
Will make sure to try it next time - thanks so much for this!
Yep, my friend, totally agree… 👍🏻😅😁
If you go next time to central ����, and you have TIME, do the following: Drive up to to Wassen (Uri), do in this order 1. Susten 2. Grimsel 3. from Gletsch down to Goms-Wallis to Ulrichen 4. Nufenen to Airolo 5. up to St. Gott...
Sure thing - quite some more to come 😊👍🏻
In all honesty, even without the traffic the second part would not be loads of fun - the road doesn’t allow you to get into any kind of flow.
For this one there’s little difference in terms of vehicle…
As you will be taking at least the second, longer bit, at relatively low speeds. But following MCGs recommendations for passes in the vicinity you will definitely enjoy the right car!
