most people go up and down a mountain in one of these

we got up and thought sod it lets walk back down

 :stupid: we did pass someone on the way down too she was very old  :laugh: and we walked down an off road course too well slipped down it  :signLOL: and we could not be bothered doing the last bit we jump onto a toboggan for the last bit  :driver: it left the ground a few times  :laugh:.

Some people go up in them, and then come down the tracks on bikes  :laugh:  Much better than on foot.

If you went through mount blanc did you stop in Aoste? Or just blast your way on down to Maranello? 

Does look like an awesome trip, but I bet the tolls and petrol pumps started to hurt the wallets!
