Default Great photo of the old Monza banking.

A fellow posted an identical photo (part of a series) a few months ago on the Autosport (formerly Atlas F1) forum. You, perhaps?

Default Whoa, lots of driving, but in an S5 who would mind...

Very cool! I have been only 50% of the places you mentioned. I will chat with you before I go next time to get suggestions.

How about Australia? Have you done driving vacation in Australia? I am heading to Sydeny in Feb.

Default yes, feel free to ask about any of those places I mentioned. but i'm def.

not a seasoned european driver...but god willing i'll be able to come back in the near future and get more familiarized!
never been to Australia. closest i've been is the Philippines (and I would not recommend a driving vacation there..lol). very familiar with the west coast of the USA.

Default nope, not me. I was just a tourist who figured out a way to climb on

to the old banking....not very simple if you're not there on an 'official' basis! :-)
thanx though.

here's what is visible of the old banking from the public park...not much. I had to climb into the woods on the left side of the photo, find my way thru ~50 yards of trees/shrubbery, up over a creaky old wire fence, and voila, there it was!

Is this totally different from the Stelvio Pass?

Those roads look like they are from a scene from the movie Goldfinger.
