Re: GESO (7) - Amalfi Coast Road
No doubt, but we were in the area with my wife's Ford Escape and weren't going to pass it by. It was intense and at the end at Deals Gap I could smell the brake linings asking for relief. I ran the 11 miles at almost 35mph. I really want to go back with my Cayman GTS and have aniother go at it.

Re: OT: What can you do ...?
... or 3-1/2"? As P.J. suggested, the wallet is unlikely for 8". It's most likely for 3-1/2" or 5-1/4" (2U or 3U). Depending on the design, the 5-1/4" one can be probably used for CDs (4.7" diameter). The 3-1/2" one can be used for credit/debit/discount/frequent-customer cards (3-3/8" x 2-1/8"). Alternatively, - for some collectible cards (e.g. baseball cards are 3-1/2" x 2-1/2", and so are the "SOTMK" cards). I actually saw some people at Disneyland with wallets full of SOTMK cards, - I wonder now if those were originally floppy-disk wallets.

RE: GESO (7) - Amalfi Coast Road
That road was also scary for a friend of mine: however, if you want really scary, try the Timetable Road in New Caledonia, where there are constant reminders of the dangers from the vehicles suspended in trees below. I basically learnt to drive properly on the island of St. Helena, where almost every road is single lane and hugs the side of a cliff: on one, you have 12 feet of carriageway and three feet each side before it drops away!
