Route 62 sports car road tripping

Posted on Wed June 10, 2026.

Photographer Ian Fairley captured the sheer joy of driving the passes and distant horizons of Route 62 in a car that you're passionate about while on the Giulia Jaunt.

Sputnik-Dale. Sputnik the hotel's Rolls Royce Silver Wraith is the car equivalent of Charlie the dog. This is his turf. With a number plate change in honour of guest escourt. Here leading 120 Harley's into town for ...Harley-Dale

Destination central for all those who seek the roads less traveled 

We've had Lambo-Dale. Porsche-Dale, MG-Dale, Jimney-Dale
