A couple of favorites from Victoria Australia.

On the way to the ski fields:

1/ Tawonga Gap (I get massive brake fade up the hill (coming towards you) and that's not the steep side)

2/ Happy Valley Rd (Shorter, Faster, FUN)
3/ Mount Beauty to Falls Creek ( A really great Alfa Rd. except for the traffic)

A Victorian Icon:

4/ The Great Ocean Rd

These are all in California.

Highway 2, Angeles Crest Highway between Wrightwood and La Canada. Still my favorite, even after nearly being killed in a motorcyle accident on this road.

Highway 166 between Hwy 33 (Above Ventura) and the 101 at Santa Maria. The 166 is an amazing road, smooth and fast with long sweeping turns that parallel the Santa Maria River.

Highway 1, of course, especially between San Luis and Big Sur, the Mother Road.

Ortega Highway, above Orange County. A good chance you'll meet Dan Gurney if you spend enough time up there.

My all-time favorite route is to take California Highway 140 from Mariposa into Yosemite, then Highway 120 (Tioga Pass) over to H-395. It has to be done early in the morning, before the motorhomes get rolling, but nothing beats sunrise on Tioga Pass.

Fuel is not available for a very long stretch at odd hours, so beware.

Highway 1 is wonderful, but there's so much traffic these days I've found it almost impossible to find stretches that allow an Alfa to do its thing. Same goes for old favorites like Skyline, Bear Creek Road, and other former Santa Cruz Mountain haunting grounds.

I'll really date myself. When I used to risk life and limb on the latter roads, my 1959 Giulietta Spider was only 8 years old, and there was practically no traffic. Prior to the Alfa, I defied common sense and gravity in a hot-rodded 1957 Plymouth.

Route Napoleon, in the south of France, or any of the coastal roads there... I loved them, but not the other occupants of my 145.... lunch-losing kind of road they told me...

here in South Australia, a nice little road to go flying around in Lobethal Road up in the Adelaide Hills. Cant wait to take my new alfa up there
