Great place to go in the Antara.. just superb and effortless on all the steep bits. Just typical that we go over the passes today, the same day as a Vespas owners club. Managed not to hit any though!

I remember driving over those passes about 25 years ago in the summer. It's a really good drive if your car is up to it.
I did it in the middle of summer while on a touring holiday of the Lake District and the north west. Too may tourists made it quite hard in places as some of them kept slowing down or stopping to admire the scenery.

That's a nice looking Fiat 500

Only kidding very nice.

You even managed to keep your Antara clean on the journey there before taking the picture.

Unless you had a Bucket of water in the boot.

Cycled up and over both a few times and never had a nice day like that though. Gives me an idea how my Antara will look like against that backdrop when I return for the Tour de France in 2014.

Lovely day, no rain, no muck or salt on the roads, just perfect, hence clean motor. Theres patches of snow left up on tops but no where near the roads.`

It looks as if someone is already testing the "stage"
