Bad ****, but I bet their all going 30KM/H or less For those
in Hawaii- one of my favorite drives is up Haleakala (spelling?)
volcano in Maui. Good road, mostly, and fun twisties. Tho traffic
can sometimes be a bear. I've always had rental cars, tho,
best I could muster was a wobbly Camaro convertable.
Tho a missed turn can, potentially = death.

caio,

-Matt

That looks like a great road for the MINI if you had it all to yourself. The one plus to that pic is it apperars that the cars can't go to fast, so just enjoy the nice fall colors. :smile:
