Do they have speed limits on the isle of man?

Title: Re:how many miles do you do in your golf a day
Post by: D Owen on 30 January 2004, 14:31

Yes and No

If there are any speed signs e.g 30 or 50 you have to obey.

Unlike here where we see the National Speed Limit signs (white background with the black stripe) on the Isle of Man there is no limit.

I worked there for 7 months last year and I hired a S60 2.4 20v Volvo and got 120mph on a normal single carriage way.  ;D

You have a Mk1, Mk2, Mk3 and Mk4 (we'll forget about the pug)!!!
Lucky swine.

I have a Mk2 16v (still off the road :( ) which has 160k on it, but I've not put any on it. My Mk3 16v has 116k, and I do about 7-10miles weekdays, drive cross town to work (far too slow to be fuel efficient) and about 20-30miles at weekends.

far too many.......197000 and rising :D ;D ;D

expecting underbonet bang at anytime..... :-\ :'(

whats amasing it still goes well beats most cars! raced bmw the other day he was strangling his and he wasnt coming passed ;D

cant beat the banger! ;D
modern bus vs 197000 mile banger! the latter wins ;D
its funny when they try it on and lose! i bet they give the dealer a mouth full

they go back to dealer.. i thought theses were fast,

dealer says they are,

they say an old golf gti beat me...

dealer ya wot, he must of tuned it up etc etc!
basicly he covers up how slow the new cars!

0 - 60 in 8.9.............my old banger does it faster........
a ;D ;D ;D

einstein says the faster you go the slower you age!
