There are some fun roads to drive and as Philip has mentioned, not many speed cameras (all of them in either 30 or 40 mph limits). Lots of things to do / places to visit and we are quite welcoming, even to gingas K (joke).

Seriously it would be fabbo to get lots of people over here. I'll try and get together with Philip to see what we can up with to keep you all entertained!

Maybe so - but you're not mentioning all the perils of island driving - nowhere else in the country will you be enjoying a spirited drive, only to go round a corner and be faced with a typical Island granny doing 15mph (and this isn't one of those gross exagerations - these are actual speeds!) without a care in the world! It makes avoiding speed cameras look a doddle!

On a more serious note, it's a great place to drive, with beautiful scenery and great twisty little roads, if a little bumpy, and in my view the only better way to get around is on a push bike

[WildCards]

mmm camping, Kate and i could be up for a bit of under the stars action err kip!

[ANTHONY]

any more news yet ?

[Paul Beazer]

Might be......

[Spirit]

Sorry guys, we may have to pull out of this one........new business, time, finances before RT3 and all that

[gdelargy]

as a start just found this:
Albert Cottage Hotel, Isle of Wight

Not that I'll be going or anything (Glasgow to Isle of Wight and I don't have a VR4 yet? I think not), but I definitely think you should all stay there. Read the review:

"Albert Cottage, situated in East Cowes, was once the home of Princess Beatrice, Queen Victoria’s younger daughter. The cottage, set in 2 acres of beautiful gardens backs onto Osborne House, Queen Victoria’s favourite holiday residence. The property is less than one mile from Red Funnel’s ferry terminal. 3 Diamonds."

Is that an official Club VR4 seal of approval?


The second paragraph sez no pets allowed, though.

Where you gonna be staying then Heath??

Seriously tho, back on topic. Philip (fatgeek) and i are planning a trial run and a brainstorming session on sunday to get an idea of how we can keep you loonies occupied for the day. The idea is drive, few senic oohs and ahhs, drive again, lunch, brum, parp etc....

Just a thought, there is a good go karting track on the island HERE (NO not the roads) any one fancy it at all? We could have our own CVR4 derby???
