I posted on your other IOW thread but i dont hink you saw?
I came over to the IOW at EAster and was impressed by the amount of scoobys over there, and also the friendliness, everyone waved or flashed their lights! Even got warned about a mobile sped camera round the corner! You dont get that where I live!

Did you go along the south coast road from Black Gang Chine to the Needles? Stunning scenery and great road.

My folks live in Shanklin and I am often over there. There are quite a few friendly Scoobies in the area. You're right about lack of super unleaded though - I always make sure I've a full tank before getting on the Red Funnel.
