It is almost imposible to acces those tunnels, they are restricted because now the building is The Parlament of Romania. But the road is great and yes i have been their. It is absolutly amazing.

Thats quite correct

. The road trip would take you from France, Germany, Austria, Hungary and then Romania. From the border of Romania to Transfagarasan are about 350 miles.

If you want to make such an interesting trip i can wait for you at the Romanian border or in Budapest. Next summer

Later edit: And i forgot to tell you that the gipsy village that you saw is somewhere in the outskirts of the country. Romania is a very beautifull country with lots of old cities with legacy. And do not forget all the castles like the one of Dracula

If i have any money. . .IF!!!! then i'd be well up for that. Havn't driven in europe and i can't wait to experience some of them awesome roads. My cousin just bought himself a stage 2 Roush Mustang (he didn't want the brakes) and we were going to go out sometime next year anyway. . .
