This panoramic was taken at one of the U Turns on Stelvio Pass. Despite the roads narrow appearance and blind corners, it is two-way traffic all the way up the side of the mountain. It actually made for some harrowing situations especially when we were also passing bikers (the pedal kind, not the motorcycle kind). This is the road that Top Gear (the REAL one from Britain) hailed as the greatest driving road in the world. It was also featured in an issue of Motortrend (which lead to us finding it in the first place). It was a blast driving up and down the mountain with the convertible top down. Maybe someday we will get back there.
