The Isle of Wight....
« on: 02 October 2011, 22:01 »
....got back from there a couple of days ago. A really nice place actually but ruined by some of the worst roads I have ever had the misfortune to drive on. I cant believe it, I drove round the whole island during the week and didnt come across any nice smooth roads. I can see why DH is called Diamond hell!! Then again, I was driving an MG ZR which fell apart at every pothole  :grin: :grin:



and the stupid thing bit me -

Nice clean cut that, not much blood.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

This.   :grin:

There are some good roads, just don't expect glassy-smooth surfaces.

Low traffic density and open roads make up for that though.

Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Holiday cottages on the Isle of Wight for 2-10 people? PM me.

I hope you've got to the hospital to get that cut looked at, it needs glue or stitches at a quick glance.

Costs a fortune to take the car. I rarely take it back.
