Isle of Wight

Ello!

So for the first time I'm taking the MINI over to the Island, normally the Alfa gets the runs down to the Island but I want to get in some decent drives (military road for one) in the MINI over christmas so I've bought a boot protect so Ozzy can travel in the MINI.

Does anyone know if there is a Shell station on the island (preferably near Ryde) that sells v-power (the only fuel I'll use!) ?

If any one else is down there look out for me!

fill up before you get on the ferry, some years ago we used to go to Ryde & could only get normal unleaded.

I know they have petrol stations, I go there all the time! I need (more like want!) V-power though and not everywhere Shell station sells it.

Look here: Shell in the UK - Search for a Shell Service Station

Just had a quick look by typing in Ryde and it said the nearest Shell Garage was 6 odd miles away on England.

Jamie, if you want to know for definate, send a PM to minijo -

http://www.mini2.com/forum/members/31219.html

She lives over there and co-organises the Isle of Wight Run every year, I'm sure she'll be happy to let you know for sure if you can get V Power there
