    Car looks great, and where you are (if you are still there) is a wonderful place to be! Furka is one of the very best passes in the alps for fun and breathtaking scenery.

    I hope the damage isn't too bad - I suppose hitting the cliff edge is better than going off the cliff edge though.

    Yes damage was minimal and blew the tyre (could not repair it) but was all fine thanks. Have done Furka since in the F12 (plus a few others passes) and getting a better handle on these tight passes. F12 is awesome IMO

    We experienced exactly taht there too: flat tyre.

    You then see how vulrenable you are in your K$300 car ... only one tyre gone and end of the journey !

    Took us 3 days to get another piece of rubber ... :(
