It’s a stunning location, we’ve had one casualty there yesterday, our drone crashed into that spindly aerial and smashed on the road, RIP drone. ,We’ve been fortunate with traffic so far but the weather’s not the bes, gone cold and damp today.

Belated update, left the car in Geneva with a bonnet full of stinky clothes and back to work, what an experience that has been. A fairly intense amount of driving to link up all the best passes and include Maranello. The factory was amazing, over 5k employees, they have their own alloy foundry for engine and electric motor parts, there’s a brand new on site factory for the electric car but we didn’t see even one complete car, they looked after us very well but unfortunately, no pictures allowed. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/tM41FnrM/IMG-6832.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/N6c8DFTb/IMG-6854.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/PG0pBCWp/IMG-6870.jpg) The police stopped me at the Lichtenstein border, since we love Alfas I took a pick of their car while they decided if I should be locked up😁 ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/gZF78fvC/IMG-6894.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/4nc2vYYQ/IMG-7029.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/tPkKzLQs/IMG-7056.jpg) Back in Andermatt just before we returned back over the Furkapass, on the last leg. It was wet the first time, drifting on the corners was great fun, this time it was hot and dry, probably the only time I’ll ever get to fully use all the 880 hp, incredible fun and an unexpected bonus, I used electric only on the way down, the fuel lasted far further than you’d think. At the petrol stops I’d need about £50 the v12’s needed £150. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/ynjGTpyW/IMG-7261.jpg)

Superb photos and looks like another memorable road-trip.  As before, thank you for sharing them. Now, onto this one photo... Ewan: Couple of brits from Folkestone ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/53khrT7/IMG-7264.jpg) The stance on the Guards Red 911 is 'chef's kiss'! What a lovely looking vehicle.

Those were both very pretty cars, I had a 3.2 exactly like the white one but in red, one thing I remember which would be worth considering on those hairpins in the mountains, it handled far better with a full tank of fuel and some stuff under the bonnet, uphill is fine but too quick down and it’s understeer Armco rash 😂 it wasn’t a very drifty car.
