Anton Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Dizz - bl@@dy cheek - from what I saw, lots of the roads were ruined before we got there - one of them took a clamp off our exhaust 😳 But we had a great seven days, and have just returned to civilisation *thumbdown* Is yours alloy with yellow wings? We saw one on our first day there (last Sunday) but didn't see it again, nor did we see any others LEO 3eggs Another Slightly Vider SeVen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizz Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 The 'red one' is/was a Westy and has been sold to a mainland home. Anton: there are 11,320 roads on the Island, 7 of which are 'blatable' - and we keep those secret I wrote off a sump earlier this year on one of our better surfaces The next time one of you guys is over on the Island do a posting and we will endeavour to meet up. It will be nice to see you in Papillon SV DD02CAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Thanks, Dizz, I'll do that. Don't think I found any truly 'blatable' roads - but the coast road from Ventnor to the Needles gives some fine views. Unfortunately it gave a very bumpy ride at all speeds LEO 3eggs Another Slightly Vider SeVen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Howard Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 The road from whitwell going back to newport was fun, apart from that i keep listening for the sump touching down.... Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
