Chriss Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Martin, are you thinking of taking us over the Col de Turini as well?If so better check the steering as well as the brakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Don't think there's enough space for snow chains in my car, more to the point i don't own any snow chains or know how to use them.

Chriss Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Snow - not a problem, we all have Triumphs, with the grit on the road we will have rusted away by the time we get to the top.Even more fun for those of us with TR7s, we'll probably left the road before half way up.
