Would you take your Porsche along this?!?

If I was mad enough at it, definitely.  Jump out just before the turn. |

Depends on what's at the other end of that road.

Nah, there'd be sheep or deer all over it if that was the case... based on my experiences anyway!

Dunno about the Porsche but I've been two-up on an 80cc scooter on roads like that in Crete.  |

Well if my dad can drive his VW type2 on roads like that you'd think the 924 with better suspension would too, but my lovely 924 would fall off it! Er...that sounds like the wrong way round to me but bendy roads my 924 loves, rough roads she hates. Plus the power pushes the back end round. No don't think I'll do it.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing! I've driven on a few like that, but not in the Porsche.
Trust me, it's not much fun having a Nissan Patrol wheel hanging off over the edge with a drop like that - I wouldn't let my wife drive it again after that

Yeah, just like an NZ road!
What you can't see is the massive log truck just coming round the corner...
