    Excellent! This is a great road. I did in a 458, my s63coupe but altho frighteningly fast i had more fun with the Tr. That 458 sounds incredible though!

    Drove this road today-the first half on Hicks Road is pretty bumpy. The road is pretty twisty and tight corners, with no shoulders for bicyclists so be careful going around the blind corners. Nice scenic views at various spots.

    Hicks road is not great, full of potholes etc. Once u make a right on mount U, i really liked those 7,8 miles.Agreed for the cyclist! I try to go early.

    Anyone up for a meetup tomorrow to drive this? No crazy speeds for me though, especially given cyclists and blind corners.

    LMK - I’ll be in my 550.

    Drove yesterday - was a lot of fun especially considering I learned a bit when we walked the top. Agree 100% with above quote. Please watch for cyclists beginning on hicks/Shannon. I’m one of them sometimes.
