Paul,

Many thanks for the invite!!

What a place the IOM is. An atmosphere all of it's own (and weather!). I have not been there since my late father raced there in the 60's and with the Norton Team in the early 70's.
Having seen some in car footage recently of the hillclimb stages I am chomping at the bit, can't wait. I reckon the build will take two years then for some racing instruction at Thruxton before I hit the hills! I have driven GT's but not at any speed - YET! If you have any basic hints for driving a GT please let me know, I am all eyes and ears!
Pick up the chassis next weekend from Mick Sollis. I enjoy the fabrication side almost as much as the driving aspect, lucky really.
