The scenic/geographical variations are amazing - all peaceful and uncrowded too. Great photographs!

Hi all,
Another update on the ongoing GTS Chronicles dual euro delivery experience:
We often chose to stay at scenic mountain rifugios (essentially rustic mountain hotels typically geared towards hikers, and which give you a bed and a choice of hearty and tasty local cuisine for dinner and breakfast).
Usually these rifugios are within close striking distance of excellent roads - which is one reason why they are so great for us to stay in.
In one case, however, the drive up to the rifugio parking lot was a touch more…challenging... from a clearance perspective. So... how did we fare?

Or on Vimeo:
We can anticipate your questions in advance: our cars have the -20mm drop.
Cheers,
Luke & Andrew

Creative! A bit of work and iffiness, but the place you made it to looked worth the effort.

Having spent about a decade doing some VERY SERIOUS off-roading, I can tell you, that was nicely done. Rock stacking and of course, a good spotter are key to making it through/over/around just about any obstacle. Having said that, I want to add that you have big brass GTS's. If you know what I mean.

Pretty cool. Rock climbing in a 718 -- who'da thunk? Very resourceful!

Hi all,
It's been a busy week, but we are finally getting another GTS Chronicles Euro Delivery update out the door.... this time, a post covering our amazing time sampling high alpine greatness in the French Alps. Endless acres of windswept alpine grasses with amazing tarmac crisscrossing every which way.
We only scratched the surface. And let me tell you... that surface is big and great!
The roads are pristine, the views incredible, and the cars....well, it's not hyperbolic to say the cars are amazing too.
