Found this video of a tube of smarties, sound like either German, Austrian, or Swiss, but anyway, the road looks awesome, wish we had roads like that in Britain.
The tunnels through the solid hillside are particularly awesome.
Enjoy
ps. you'll feel more at home watching this one, as they drive on the wrong side as well, haha.

oops, soz mate.
I have a feeling with the popularity of the smart brand in America, it won't be long before they announce they are going to do a new roadster, would sell like hotcakes, hell I'd buy another

ps height adjustable drivers seat and adjustable steering wheel this time please.

Rothaus is in the Black Forest of Germany! AMAZING scenery there! This is where all of the famous cuckoo and grandfather clocks are made.... in and around the Black Forest. It's also the name given to one of the BEST desserts in the world....... Black Forest Cherry Cake!! There's even an old village there (a reproduction village) where you can tour all of the farmhouses, with roofs made of sod & straw. There's even a place inside the house where they kept their cattle in the winter, since it helped them (everyone....including the people) to stay warm & survive the winter!

The houses were amazing, and absolutely beautiful in design!

I have tons of slides packed away of the area. Amazing place!!

It was like the video of the tail of the dragon but with roadsters.

Not much different driving here in Wild and Wonderful WV. Only exception - our potholes to avoid, and beside the climbing curves - we've got hills and gullies.

Thanks for posting video headless!
The tunnels and forest remind me of the roads up in the Black Hills, South Dakota, near Mt Rushmore. Awesome!

Nice drive. I would love to see a roadster in person!
