Markallain Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 I guess everyone has a house by the sea in Jersey as it's only 9 by 5 miles here. Taxes are relatively low but cost of living is high. No boat for me though - cars only! And Mrme we don't get pulled over a lot - Well I've not been anyway.

Sparky Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 I have a house in Jersey, and it's a wonderful place. OK, so the house isn't mine, but I can go over when ever I like, and I do Until last year, a Jersey plated car could get away with going through Gatso's at any speed and not get done. That all changed though and my father-in-law got zapped. It's such a relaxed place, no worries of security (phones left in cars etc), when I come back to the UK, it makes you think. I'll probably sell up and move back there one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesB Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Hmm, a DB9 on an island with a maximum speed limit of 40mph. Every time I'm in Jersey, it amazes me how many fast cars there are per capita. I can't imagine the majority are ever driven at anything approaching their capacity. But then, I suppose if I was stinking rich, I wouldn't mind living in Jersey and I'd still want a nice car. I'd just make sure I frequently took it to places where I could give it some wellie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian [/ QUOTE ] A fair point in isolation, but at least in this country there is the opportunity to press on a bit in certain situations. As far as I am aware, there is one stretch of dual carriageway on the whole of Jersey. The speed limit is 40 and it is in a built up area. Even the twisties out there are difficult to get stuck into as a lot of them are barely wide enough for two cars. I reckon I could drive at 170mph in a lot of places on the mainland in this country with far less chance of killing someone than I could at 70 mph anywhere in Jersey. However, I'm more than happy to admit that my comment was more of a lead in to the fact that I am amazed at the number of quick cars on the island. I just hope that the owners get the chance to take them for a good run from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CabGirl Posted October 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 If I lived there I'd be happy to just sit and look at my collection of cars. And go for the odd 40mph spin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
