I'd run a bar at the top and live at the bottom. Or vice versa.

Doesn't appeal to me much. It looks like it's made of prefabricated pieces and plonked on the hillside. I prefer the straights to blend in to the curves, and the road to blend in to the hillside. Like NZ roads :)

I work with a nutter German who has a Romanian wife and visits there regularly...in his Porche Carrera that he has modded.... and says it is fast....and handles great

He tells me Stevelio pass is one of several spectacular passes in the area and....next Euro summer we are planing to visit some where in Europe....Which will now likely include Romania because....:shit:...I have the offer to drive his Porche and experience some of Romania's spectacular passes for a couple of days...:woohoo:

Now to bring the plan together....

Done the Stelvio on an MV, it's amazing, but that road in China....no thanks
