to get SUL on the island it is fairly easy.

when you get off the ferry i think it is prudent as we have to drive by the petrol station in order for you to get to hotel, that we highlight its location - flashing of hazards or something similar!

there are two, but from east cowes heading toward hotel it will be on the LEFT and is a National.

dnb - iowduder - comments please.

Wasn't going to let them go through Newport to the hotel - There's more fun roads to play on (Even though it's not the shortest route)

It's not a bad idea really - it's probably better than finding the good roads straight away.

I still think the emergency bottle of booster is a good idea.

I only know of the National - where's the other one?

there is no other one - did not want them to get confused as there are two petrol stations at fairlee - the Nationasl and the Esso.

Obviously the National is the one we all need.

erm, not being funny, but i hope they do not run out with all these scoobs - i will be there thursday night then

Weava

ps: Dvae we need an itinery for the w/end so i can inform the iwevocars lot??!!??!!

best bet is the Optimax (think there are two) in SOTON before you get on the ferry! that's what I'll be doing !
used about 3/4 tank last year & filled up on the way home again. booster is in the car already !

PinkBunny - err .. after last years attempt on the cliff top I think I'll be scooby-tc on that one !

Steve

Steve

I still remember your face (on the cliff top) as the back end slid round.
How are you going to top that this year?

saddo mainlanders - passports !!

you will be expecting duty free on the ferry - well let me tell you thats the last thing you will get from stichup ferry companies.

the food and drink onboard requires re-mortgage !

Weava - I think we should charge them a fee for clearing customs.
Optimax is on the forbidden import list BTW. (So, naturally, we'll confiscate any we find...)
