Top 100 car related activities to do before you die
Just thought id start a lil topic to see if we could make a list of the 100 most "important" car related things car enthusiastics should do before you die. (Probably would be best if you limited each activity to one post so they're easier to count) Ill start the ball rolling:
1. Beg, borrow, steal, hire, or buy a plush GT (preferably and aston) and cruise through France to watch the Le Mans 24 hour.
Its gotta be done, and i WILL be doing doing this sometime in my life

Little detail: the Stelvio is an Italian pass  but still yes, the Alps in general, including France, Switzerland, Italy, and Austria have some mighty roads
