Grande Punto My Hired GP Becoming a proper MountainMachine

[T14086]

Where that...Cumnock?









looks nice there mate,how did you find the turbo lag on the hills?

 

[mountainmachine]

Yup there REALLY big Pit Bings. Turbo lag was a bit of a bugger, but low gear and lots of right foot sorted that out! Dont think i was ever in a higher gear than 3rd until i hit the main roads, as you need to be in a low gear going down them too!

Aww noone likes the GP on Holiday! Ohh well HGT pics today as its nice and dry and sunny and freezing, and the HGT is lovely and clean... at the moment!

GP isn't bad either

I'll put some of my general holiday snaps up from that holiday, the ones with the GP dont do it justice. Got 1Gb of photos.......just for that holiday, dont think i'll put them all up, already shrunk all those to put them up! lol

mountains look freaking fantastic.


where exactly were you (googlemap link keeps crashing on me).

the 1.3 mjtd does have HUUGGGEEE lag, bit dodgy on corners, got to be awake to keep it on teh road in the wet.

loads of torque but not much actual go when thrashing it

1.9 much better but heavier, so odd's and sods really.


can't really beat a hire car of any sort really

Was the area around Corvara in the Italian Dolomies, that should pop straight up on google maps, was there doing Via Ferrata and some sightseeing including visiting the old WW1 tunnels cut through the mountains, really an amazing place would have liked to back during winter, but stuff at home happened so didnt happen.
