Best car for the alps

[pgunter]

An Alfa Spider of some sort for me. Shout if you like my little German loving friends but an Alfa Spider in the alps, living the dream for me.

If it makes it up the mountain.. lol... short dreams you must have then Grumps.

A touch cynical, no? I had three Alfas back when they were actually Alfas, not just Fiats with an expensive badge stuck on them, and they didn't break down all the time. No, not all the time. Oh no.

I have to admti the porker is the nearest contender yet but some of the roads we like to explore are unpaved tracks last year it was us and 4x4s at the end of the trail. Lotus doesn't even have a look inits to uncomfortable and cramped for a journey to the alps the same for the morgan just to much of the great outdoors all the time we sometimes like to have a conversation in the car. The Alpha i personally like but there's no way i would drive 3500 miles in a 25 year old and feel comfortable.But keep the options going im still pleased with the way the Z is stacking up against some great suggestions

I can’t at the moment either.your driving through France and the mountains with snow start rising up in front of you it makes the hairs on the back of my neck go up just thinking about it.

Hugh I think you should increase to 30 years old , as my Zed is getting 22 this year and I still believe is comfy and perfect to ride the Alps!
