Hey Larry: If you are impressed with the Stelvio, I would recommend Catalina Hwy. from Tucson to the top. 22 miles, with a vertical elevation gain of over 6,000 ft. Best taken about 5-6 am on a Sunday morning. Tom Reynolds can verify, I think. The other one back here that the Shitbox and I love is Hwy 128 from Bismarck to Hot Springs, AR. At over 20 miles, it winds up and down thru pine forests and fields, it's not unlike the old Nurburgring. The only thing missing is the castle ruins and the ghost of Peter Collins who died at the Pflanzgarten in the1958 German GP while driving his Dino 246 for the Old Man. BTW, I ran a set of Pirelli Stelvios on my Austin Healey 100S back in the day. Damn fine all weather tires back then. Yer pal, Ferrari Bubba In a message dated 1/8/2009 11:05:11 A.M. Central Standard Time, l02turner [at] comcast.net writes: My son bought a book through Nat'l Geographic called "The 10 Best Of Everything". I immediately went to the 10 Best Drives expecting to see the Stalvio Pass somewhere - nope - not there - The Winners are: 1. Pacific Coast Hwy 2. Rte 93, Canada & US 3. Hwy 362 Quebec 4. Dalton Hwy Alaska 5. Kancamagus Hwy N.H. 6. Rt. 100 Vermont 7. Northern Spain (Various roads) 8. Rhine River Valley, Germany 9. Southern Hills of Italy 10. Ring of Kerry, Ireland Naturally the choices are weighted toward scenic vistas, exhilarating & romantic drives. In the selection of #9 they suggest, "Rent a Ferrari...." Sounds like a good suggestion --) I bet this list could come up with many more "Great Drives" Have a nice day - Sincerely, Larry T (74 911, 91 300D 2.5T) www.youroil.net Oil Analysis Kits & Porsche Posters/Weber parts Test Results - http://members.rennlist.com/oil/ http://www.scamfreetop10.com/1233.html . _________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe or modify your subscription options, please visit: http://lists.ferrarilist.com/mailman/options/ferrari/red5hilser%40aol.com Sponsored by BooyahMedia.com and F1 Headlines http://www.F1Headlines.com/ **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
