Yep, the challenge of living offshore! I wouldn't mind but Royal Mail just treat us as a normal UK postcode and don't charge more.

The best one is the RAC (or is it AA? One of them anyway). If you have European cover and breakdown in Rome they will bring your car all the way back to the UK, but won't recover it to the Isle of Wight even if that's where you live in the UK!

Oh come to the annual meet! We could have a good moaning session about the cost of postage to our isolated offshore islands that we foolishly believe are part of the UK.

This week the suspension was replaced with coilovers and had them set a little lower than the car would have been from the factory.
Rides a lot nicer now and liking the looks









See how I get on with it, but may lower it a little more
