josh2005 Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 Driving though Godshill this morning (14/6) saw a grey 370z with a private plate! Not seen another one for about a year on the Island! Even got a wave too! Quote
nick.banks Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 That would be me! Actually live in Berks but was down on the island for the festival. (I did live in Shanklin for a few years growing up though FWIW!) Good luck with the potholes down there! Quote
josh2005 Posted June 16, 2016 Author Posted June 16, 2016 That's cool, it was the first time in ages i'd driven that way to work and I wondered if you were an islander doing a commute and i'd just never seen it! Pretty sure mine is the only 370z over here! Quote
mattross1313 Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 I was over there back in March for a long weekend. Closest thing I saw to the Z was an MX5 Quote
dickwhite350z Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 we were over on the weekend of the 4th and 5th from Essex, saw a black one from a distance near bembridge, ours is blue, great time. Quote
josh2005 Posted June 16, 2016 Author Posted June 16, 2016 Could have possibly been me, I did a bit of a drive out that way weekend before last! My brother has a grey 350z, plenty of those over here now! Quote
veilside z Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 What's the Island like Josh, thinking of spending a few days there. Which is the best area to look to stay. I remember a school trip years ago to Shanklin. I understand if you take your car over, then it doesn't take long to see it all. 1 Quote
josh2005 Posted June 17, 2016 Author Posted June 17, 2016 It's good, if you do a Friday - Sunday/Monday you'd be able to see the majority, lots of nice pubs over here, roads aren't fantastic but gradually getting resurfaced, Military Road has to be driven just for the view. Shanklin is a good shout to stay at, Sandown isn't so great these days. New Premier inn in lake is worth a look I've heard its quite cheap to stay there and its a good location. Let me know if any other questions! 1 Quote
veilside z Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 Thanks buddy, very helpful. Is there any particular ferry to use that's a better option and which port do they work out of? Quote
josh2005 Posted June 18, 2016 Author Posted June 18, 2016 Red Funnel are generally cheaper (Southampton to east cowes). Wightlink do Portsmouth to Fishbourne and Lymington to Yarmouth. Whichever company you use be sure to request to be on the lower deck when you turn up to the terminal, I made the mistake of not and bottomed my old 350z out on a ferry! 1 Quote
veilside z Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 Ouch, hope wasn't too bad. Thanks for the heads up buddy. Happy Zedding :) Quote
