These pictures have not made me really appreciate our own roads any more, but want to escape the nanny state camera's and flashing slow down signs and so some real driving.

What MB, if any, would you take on these roads.

Remember some of the surfaces are pretty poor so a 4x4 may not be such a bad idea. I'd take a G class or an ML for some luxury.

But in what, you can't really take an SL over some of these roads. You need to go and buy the G class

Lets put it this way, some of those places like Switzerland, though I did do a good run there in the 70's in both an Austin champ, and a Maserati Gibli

I've driven the Skippers Canyon road (in a Shogun) when I last visited my sister in New Zealand , Absolutely breathtaking and well worth the trip for the scenery.

What was the Maserati like. They did a big feature of 70's masers in Classic and Sports car. If I were alive in the 70's, I'd have wanted one, badly.

Wonderful roads - can't think of an M-B I'd really want to enjoy them with, although I imagine several models could manage them without fuss.

How about a Citroen SM though? That pothole devouring suspension, eyeball removing brakes, brilliant proportional steering, wonderful dynamics - and all wafted along by that Maserati V6............ where's me passport?

Practically identical roads like these exist in the UK, especially the unmade roads, I was brought up on a dairy farm in Wales in the middle of the Brechfa Forestry region, it was and still is one of the largest Forestry Plantations in Europe! To access these ranges, roads were cut by workers by the Forestry Commission , I know this because my father worked for the Commission for over 30 years and my brother still works for them there! Most of the roads were and still are off limits to the public. I had the advantage of accessing these roads from the age of 10 in different vehicles, from tractors through to rally cars, Lorries through to Motorbikes. The roads were mainly cut from bare rock with overhangs into the valleys below, some of them get seen on some of the World rally stages these days but most are so dangerous they are chained off and only people who work there get access to them!!

A Range Rover V8 would be my choice.
