Never been to jersey - is it worth having a super car there ? Are there decent fast roads ?

Nope. Maximum limit is 40mph I think.

Bring driven by a delivery driver, one unhappy owner for sure.

Even worse in Guernsey where the Enzo was registered, just 35mph…

I suppose they are considered purely for investment then ? Not much point otherwise

That's happened on the only bit of dual carriageway on the island so probably the only section of road where you could open it up a bit.

As far as what's the point on Jersey? It's a short hop on a ferry to St Malo, then you're into Euro Road trip territory and having these cars makes sense.

I used to live in St Helier in my early 20's and one of my memories is waiting to cross the road while a procession of Ferrari's, Lamborghini's & Aston's drove past. I think it was as the 5th car passed I came out of my day dream and thought "Wait a minute..." It was the first supercar procession I had seen.

Edited to pluralise Aston smile

Not wishing to come across as pedantic, but why didn't the plural of Aston get an apostrophe ? Or more pertinently, why did Ferrari and Lambo ?

Isn't there a fairly decent straight bit of road out by St Ouens Bay?

Anything bigger than a Focus felt excessive there. 40mph limits, very narrow roads linking places together.

You may as well try to play with an Enzo in Tokyo gridlocked rush hour. Utterly pointless, in my opinion.

Definitely not! We had a short family break there over the Summer. Took the wife's Stelvio which felt far too big! Some of the roads between the South and North are decent but low speed limits and far too narrow to enjoy with other traffic. There doesn't seem to be any pavements just walls and the side of peoples houses to catch your wing mirror or alloys on.

Right enough, I'd forgotten about that but isn't it only single track?

Since we're onto pedantry, didn't anyone go to school? The plural of Ferrari is Ferraris, the plural of Aston is Astons and the plural of Lamborghini is Lamborghinis. An apostrophe indicates possession or a missing letter and is nothing to do with plurals. Lookup Grocer's apostrophe.
