Great. People I've driven with also say it should go well, so I'm going to do it. I've always liked the idea of driving to Southern Europe, but I've never had the car nor the right friends to do it with.

when are you going to be there? i ll be in both france and spain this summer

So bad you had to say it twice?

Well my ride is a truck so yea but I can drive stick just fine if needed.

Just joking man. Italians always make fun of Americans because they can't drive manuals. Don't even know if it's true, but I do hear manual cars are the exception in the US.

Be patient going up the mountain. If you don't drive your vehicle up steep inclines often or your engine isn't 6 cylinders you'll probably experience a slight drop in power. Just refrain from trying to hammer up the mountain and enjoy the sights. And have fun on the way down.

I spent part of a summer driving the Northern Rockies.


Just billed another 3 hours, take that internship!

What about going down the mountain? I always assumed that would be more difficult as you don't want to fry your brakes and I bet I'll be real slow the first time I'm going downhill. I assume I would shift gears and let the engine do much of the braking as they say?

and what car do you have for that plan ? ...

Peugeot 207. Nothing too fancy, but it's a decent car.

hmm..4 people in a peugeot 207 climbing mountains ?...hope you love fishing man..

i am used to use both...easy pedal brake then change from 4th to 3rd for example... but the engine brake is a good advice.

I might be going with my mom's Peugeot 307 sw if she doesn't need it. But she'll be very reluctant to give me the car.

I see Italians going up the mountain in the tiniest Fiat cars all the time anyway.

I saw that episode. That looked amazing. Too bad you know who built it.

But still. Man.. I bet they speed there all the time?

same actually, but i wont hit Spain till mid July. Actually now i need your help where can i find cheap flights from prague to dubrovnik?

 

[blondu]

i don't know who built it...us ? Well i donno about speeding, there are sectors in which you can test your car with no problem...no police is up there. I can't wait till july to take my audi up there.

I only know Click 4 Sky which does Prague - Split IIRC and which a mate wanted to use (but didn't in the end). But as far as I know the quickest way from Split to Dubrovnik would be a bus ride. Train is impossible. There's also a ferry I think. Either way you'd lose a lot of time.

Have you asked Alen? He must know more about this.

Downshift off the brake.

Just did 2 miles. It fucking sucks out today. I'm drenched.

I know I have balls myself. I'm safe.

I can back him up on this, guys. Rab definitely does have balls.

IZ/Cur' what do you prefer magners or bullmers?

I've never had what the English call Bulmers. I'm not a big fan of our Bulmers (what you call Magners) though.

I saw that episode. That road is crazy.
