It's sort of right...
There are sections of road without speed limits, but they're becoming fewer and further between as the nanny state encroaches more into our daily lives.

I have been to the IOM quite a few times, Chris, but never taken my car.  

 

I am originally from Lancashire and the Island is a favourite holiday destination before the advent of Package Holidays.  The first time I went was with my parents in 1938!

 

Regards,

We've lived here since 1998 and would never consider moving back to the UK/Mainland/"Across" - it's a wonderful place to live.

Well, posting the list didn't last...
we're in Ramsey in the north of the Isle of Man - the road racing capital of the World (apparently), although I'm originally from Burnley, Lancs (I think that's two firsts for the club :)).

Quite funny actually Peter...I was tanking over the mountain on the TT Course yesterday afternoon (it really is a comically fast car) and, as I passed a couple of parked Mark IIs and an XK I got the biggest smiles and waves from their drivers (who were outside their cars having a smoke). They were visitors to the island (based on their UK plates) but that's never happened to me before, when I've owned lesser marques.
Made me feel quite special :)
