Re: Manx Classic 2008

Thanks Bjorn - that is very kind of you, I too am looking forward to 2008 and will confirm my entry to IOM after I've spoken with Roy tomorrow.

I'm obviously most comfortable in Roy's Mk1, but have a number of kind offers for a drive, so even if I don't take Roy's, I should still be 'in the seat' so to speak.

Not too sure I'd be too quick in the C-Type, it's fun to drive but I've never really felt safe driving 'open-top'. Although Silverstone as a passenger in Malcolm's Prosport Spyder was seriously 'inspiring'.(read friggin fast!)

Now the SV, that's a bundle of fun too.

Martin W - you coming over to play too? I think Dave P is up for it also and I'm fairly sure 'Uncle Ray' and RoyW are intending to go.(tbc)

Martin G - are you likely to be defending the 'C O H Baines Trophy'? for fastest time up Lhergy Frissell by a GT40? now you're finally in posession of the silver..?

Who knows, with me being 150+ lbs lighter, I might be quicker..... yeah right - I wish..... what is it they say?
"the older I get the faster I was"..

Lherghy Frissell - Waterworks 2 - Happy days!
