His new mk3 turbo build is pretty amazing.
So I’m on my way back to Blighty. Currently in the middle of France, catching a ferry tomorrow afternoon.
On the way up we hit SR65/SP65 between Florence and Bologna which forms part of the Mille Miglia route and it was insane. The views are fantastic, it’s not so high up but the surface and corners are just pure enjoyment.
Then this morning we did San Bernandino pass which had a lot of hairpins but the bit at the top was a real joy. Volvo doesn’t really have enough lock for tight mountain hairpins so I had to keep slowing right down for them, it was one of the few times this trip I wanted the MX5 so I could do some sweet hairpin skids. The view from the top of the pass was something else.

Always amusing MX5 action. And a bit lethal.
