    I remember Top Gear did a special in Bolivia. They went through road #1 on the list and it was amazing how they managed to get through. I can't imagine what it must feel like to be so close to the edge.

    You mean you want to put up the railings you'll pay for, Richie Rich? :grin:
    What's worse is that the peeps at "mlobit.com" think that's a dangerous road, but... if you see MUD ahead, and you don't have MUD tires or a JEEP or something like that... why would you even go into that road? FAIL. :eek:

    Why is the guy in the yellow short not wearing any pants? Is that a common occurrence in russia?

    In Soviet Russia, the pants leave you at home.

    Seriously, I posted that photo because it is the scariest of all photos of all roads. I think wearing a yellow T-shirt with no pants is common in the D&D forum. I mean, not for me you understand, but ...

    I think not having any pants on is the least of anyone's worries if they are traveling on that road.

    They cost money and you have to pay workers... a lot of these places don't have acces to either. More than likely the roads aren't "official", but shortcuts made by locals.

    Visiting Mexico as a kid, i remember going up/down a road like the ones in the first few pics. My dad was driving and i remember thinking i'd **** my pants if I was in his place. Especially when you're on the side closest to the edge, since you can hardly see any road when you look out the side window

    Road of Death...maybe?
    But it would have to be for a really good reason.

    The hiking trail, with wooden planks hanging from the side of a mountain?
    Umm, no.

    Very nightmarish. Not a chance I'd do any of those. Even the cable cars give me the willies. Though if you're living in extreme poverty where you're at, and those roads give you access to a better life, and its the ONLY path you have, its probably why they're built in the first place.

    The Russia road doesnt even look sensible. Hard to even qualify that as a "road". Its just a muddy pathway. Like trying to ride a bicycle through the swamp

    Perversion knows no bounds. Just start making sh_t up to feel horny about :eek:

    Road 1 should be in gran turismo or some other racing game. Would be INTENSE, make rainbow road look like a sunday drive.

    #4 looks like a lot of fun.

    I'll pass on the others. Just looking at them makes me feel sick. I'm deathly afraid of heights. Never met anyone worse than me.
