Re: Some pic's of the heave ho at Stelvio Pass
Must upload some more pics from the holiday :) the roads were the best EVER and really enjoyed lots of the trip but as stated it was a LOT of miles and driving. Just a bit much fitted into 6 days of driving 3 days rest went fast!
Playing with super cars and getting done over by 2 of them LOL was great fun. Tunnels were the BEST - upto 5km tunnels ftw
Weather was HOT so hot steve did not want to drive the vx and stuck to air con in his lol saw 51deg in the vx at 90mph!!! Think james may in top gear road trip!
Camping will never happen again but still had a great trip
Still don't want to admit the full cost of fuel on the trip - think 3000miles at 24mpg at best! 6.1mpg on the ring! LOL

My Bro has a DSLR. It's awesome. Cost him about a grand a couple of years ago.. Guessing prices have gone down now though.

New poster! (less than 10 posts)
Best entry level DSLR on the market now is the Canon EOS 450d.
Check prices on www.camerapricebuster.co.uk :)
I've got a 40d and it's great ... 450 is smaller and lighter and perfect as your first camera

Re: Some pic's of the heave ho at Stelvio Pass
id love a mini at some point. there loads of engines options out there. im personally still fond of the old skool 1300 turbo. im sure there was a mag feature with one pushing good power.
my bro's getting a k20 engine fitted in his vti and then using the b16vti engine to drop into a mini :) nice.

Re: Some pic's of the heave ho at Stelvio Pass
Well, it's just I can't really imagine the mini being suited to the ring. I would say the ring is a higher speed track. Sure, you have the occasional slow corners, but generally it seems to be rather fast.

For some people it's the fact one has done at least 1 lap of the most famous track in the world, regardless of car, to say you've been there and driven it is a major tick off ones TO DO list

Re: Some pic's of the heave ho at Stelvio Pass
I take my Clio Diesel round the ring... its slow as f*ck but boy do i enjoy every single metre on that track... i would love to do a lap in a mini! OR perhaps 1 day in a 5 that i own!
