Isle of Man...

Post by Bailes1992 »

Went to the MANX Automotive Museum yesterday.

Took my Mondie over, didn't miss a beat!

What a place 8)
Roads are terrific, everyones really nice, views to die for!
Barreling down the A5 at 110mph and a police car overtook me :lol:

I do need 4 new tyres now though :(

Anyone fancying a weekend away, just go! So chilled out over there it's unreal!

My mate lives in i.o.m a place called \douglas,
he never brings car over, always comes over on one of them triumph spitfires with wings, lands at liverpool,

that must be the cheapest way over-or too go, quicker too

You dont need a car over there , you can walk round the full island in less than a day,

Its like that for most of the British Isles. Ferry from here to Scotland/England, fuel, accomodation and we ended up doing a fortnight in Gran Canaria for cheaper!

Thats aword we dont use mate, My inlaws are from ireland,

caravans ihate them but they are cheap at times for a short break,
icarnt stand waking up early hours in the morning to hear seagulls on the roof with concrete boots on mind
or feeling the tin shed moving about when someone gets up , tents are much better me thinks,
