I am uploading 11 minutes of the first part [ had 6 hours recordings, split probably 2 parts ]. This is one of the three most glorious days as far as weather, views and roads are concerned.. It takes 2hours to upload in 1440p ... Patience please..

Second part 24th may. Not many mountain passes, but lots of enchanting scenery, about 8 minutes...

Stelvio, Umbrail [not Abula..] and Forcola passes closed. Entering the Livigno valley from the north [ toll € 12 !!! ] through a tunnel,
kills your earnings of cheap fuel..

Not a lot of sun, but a day with a nozy customs officer, near hit with a bus and a police car and driving on the train rails...

...starts to sound like JC's intro for Top Gear.. ..exept for the falling piano.. ..sofar :lol:

Stunning scenery Dan. Perfect car to see it from. Better if the roof came off though 😀

@XZ4.
Thanks ! About 8 more vids to come ; short of time to deal with it. About 30min work to get to 1 min of 'condensed' video ...
We have about 6 hours recording per day. I think 10 mins per video is too much, try to keep it under 8 minutes.

I once owned an MG-F ; nice in spring or clouded weather. But in the baking sun I drover it with the top up, windows down
and the rear window removed...

Also, after spending 15 minutes in a hailstorm near Seville [ in summer !] in 2016, with hail the size of pool balls,
I don't even want a glass roof anymore..

Another day from the tour, may 28th.

Trip from Pontresina through Maloja, Splügen and SanBernadino passes. Gloomy and clouded. No mishaps,
but many, many, many hairpins.... No 'pink elephants' , but two pink cars oncoming ; what are the odds..

may 29th.. Lukmanier pass, canyons, cowboys and cops..

Susten, Furka, Grimsel, Gotthard and Nufenen were closed when we were there !

For all of you that wonder : its recorded this year. The '2018' is to confuse third party use.. 8-)

Great videos Dan.
Given how much brake dust mine sheds in normal driving, you must have been permanently cleaning your wheels.
