Bucket List Road / post yours please!

Post by SoFlaFiat »

My brother lives in Colorado and sent me a picture that prompts me to start a new thread.
He has no interest in cars but lives in a place that I would love to drive every day!

It is now on my bucket list to drive my Fiat on that little curvy hill!!

Let's see some pictures of your bucket list road!

Stelvio Pass, Italy

An icon and a legend for all car maniacs around the world, the Stelvio Pass is the epitome of a driving road. Located at the border of northern Italy with South Tyrol (Austria), Stelvio has been used for years as a local race track for car manufacturers to test their cars. This is probably the first name that comes into many car enthusiasts’ mind when you say the best road in the world or a driving road.

Austrian Alps all the way! Been there myself (although not in this car). The most breathtaking scenes of my life.

Highway 191 from Clifton to Alpine, Arizona. I don't think there's a straight piece of roadway for about 125 miles! I have been on this road in a motorhome :shock: and was dreaming all the time of what it would be like behind the wheel of my Spider.

Sunny, I just checked out the aerials of that stretch 191. WOW THAT LOOKS FUN, right on.

We have quite a few in Southern California that earn their spot on any decent sized list:

Most famous is Mulholland Drive/Angeles Crest Highway with amazing views of downtown Los Angeles in the background but due to the high population density and road's notoriety ala:

it's more of a circus then anything else on the weekends. Try VERY late night or VERY early morning runs for the most peaceful drive.

I nominate the Nurburgring for the list. And yes, it is considered a public road on specified days!!! Just pay your lap fare and off you go abiding by all typical German motoring laws.

Here's a video of me onboard with a friend getting some pointers to improve my lap time:

Any tips on embedding the youtube video?
