Driving up a 1 - in -5-in-places, hairpin strewn, icy road does not feature highly on my list of sensible things to do in a # 350,000
roadster with 295 - width rear tyres, a two - metre - wide
body and sensitive controls, so we leave it at the bottom (next to a
sign advising learners, HGVs and caravans to go the long way round) and scout ahead in our Lexus IS - F long - termer.
