Cool Romanian Alfa Club meeting on Transfagarasan

About 2 weeks ago,just as the authorities were closing the road, and news reports were announcing winter was coming,we had another go at our version of the Stelvio Pass,the Transfagarasan.It's becoming a tradition by now,it was our third run.

Awesome pictures. I wish we could get those models here.

Thats amazing. I have never seen anything like it. And probably never will. Nobody in America drives their Alfas in snow. So thats the main reason. I am guessing those all have working heater cores?

Fantastic pictures from a fantastic road. From Wikipedia: " [Top Gear] presenter Jeremy Clarkson claimed they had made a mistake in naming the Stelvio Pass as the best road in the world and instead Transfăgărăşan should have this title."

I've never been to either, but judging from the pictures he may have a point

Stunning photos! The new season of Top Gear started with an epic road trip through Eastern Europe just to drive this pass - which I won't even attempt to spell, let alone pronounce . I guess the footage will appear on YouTube somewhere soon.

Love the photography and the subject matter .

I've been to Bucharest, Brasov, Constanca, and some roads between twice in the last few years and never saw a single Alfa....where are they hiding?

Awesome--we have mountains in British Columbia--but no roads like that.

Fabulous pictures. Thanks for sharing and raising the level of photography here. There are several that would make a great poster or calendar page.
