Read moreAs many of the StreetSafari regulars know, after CzechWrecks 2010 we did a recce to Romania and the Transfagarasan Highway.
It's a road that was shown on Top Gear back in early 2009 and we have been asked repeatedly to go drive it for StreetSafari and maybe to include it on an event. You may think I have the best job in the world. Maybe. Definitely top three.
First problem is “you need to go and drive the Transfagarasan Highway”, erm, yeah. Anyone know where it is? Romania. And where exactly is Romania? Anywhere near where we already go? No. Romania is the other end of Europe.

Thank you to all the people who turned up, despite the absolutely dreadful weather!
The spin in the wet by the MX5 was eventually diagnosed to rubbish tyres! It seems that Dunlop SP 200s are simply dreadful in the wet. The Triumph Herald was having problems half way round so that team jumped into another car for the rest of the run.
Not sure what the best car was on the run, close run thing between the Triumph Herald, the Ford Cortina, Jaguar XK or the Rover SD1 2300.
