To be honest, im pretty glad we didn't have a massive 15-20 plus cars for it.
For one, the crowd that came could all drive fast but competently, rigourously obeying the village speed limits which you really CANNOT break, and in my opinion i couldn't have wanted to meet a friendlier bunch...
He did consider AWD.....but the money involved to do it would be silly.
Then again given to BenP to do it would be peanuts in comparison to his current spend!
We didn't have a single breakdown!
Even my lightweight, hardcore, NON climate control style heater unit warmed me up.
And i think only 1 Maccy Dee's was had on the last morning.....im guessing the island won't cater for your tastes Seb.
Don't think many places serve Foie Gras, Duck A L'Orange...
Awww Seb....you little battler you!
You could at least get the half decent 197 variant and stand yourself in better stead...;)
We are prob gonna sort out the next Isle Of Man trip soon.....then you can put your money where your keyboard is!
LOL! Twas a weekend for driving....wasn't a photoshoot!
I don't blame Jord for sticking with the one lens. Infact i think we all did! :o

Should be awesome vid footage to come. We did some pretty hairy runs on the mountain section of...
Actually Clare wouldn't have minded it! There was only one time she actually said something...was along the lines of "Woah...for f***s sake Ollie!"

Lets hope Jord gets a 172 lump in his by the time he goes as well....then we really will have a quick convoy of cars!
Then again his with a 1.2 wasn't too shabby either!
Oh and by the way, Clare has just...
Ahh sorry Matt! I thought you might have been heading off somewhere specially and we weren't meant to be following!
I bottled it and headed back....cos im a wuss.:o
"It'll be reet"
"To be honest i think its being run by Bosnians!"
LEG-END
D'oh!! That was my fault....:o. I was following you guys thinking "where the feck are we heading?!"
Hence why i pulled over and turned around!
The M6 was moving .....just not very fast! I made up for it later tho...hehe.
I miss it already!!!
What a great weekend that was. A Laugh a minute!
Matt was a complete show stealer from start to finish...if not a bit of a handful when trying to guide him, completely rat arsed, from the porta loo into his tent!
So when we going back??
This knocking you mentioned....when did it occurr? Only over bumps in the road?
I also have a 52 plate Cup and have a knocking/tapping noise when i go over crap roads.....driving me mad. Thinking engine mount on the offside.
