Popped over to the Isle of Man...

[Dave S2K]

a couple of weeks ago, cracking roads, stunning scenery, quite a small island once you've done a few laps. The Mountain Pass stretch was amazing, best bit of road i've driven on. Here's a few pics, was mainly driving so not too many...

My eyes were nowhere near my clock i'm affraid mate, was concentrating too much on not driving off the shear edge !!

Super stretch though indeed.

Cracking pics as ever Dave. Not been over there for a load of years now, and never in my own car, a must to do.

Wierd spot where we took that, right next to the sea edge, it looked like somebodys front garden/beach, was a little white bungalow just to the right, we only noticed it after a few minutes. They were probably stood in the window saying 'cheeky buggers, right on our garden too' ! Took us 4 miles to get there down a single track road lol.

We booked it through http://www.steam-packet.com/SteamPacket/

was about £150 return, bit pricey for a weekend but loved the place! Might go back for the TT Races next year

Do the roads have NO speed limits over there ????

Do the roads have NO speed limits over there ????

The locals appeared to exceed 70/80 after the national speed limit signs so it's up to you sir !

Personally I think speeding is best saved for the track.
