Well Folks...its that time of year again which means the Manx Rally will be running from September 7th to the 9th.
Would you like to go and see Scooby's performing in their natural habitat ? well this is the place.


It also happens that my local Subaru Dealer BeechDale Derby (www.beechdale.co.uk) will be running
their Group N Impreza. Dave Wood is currently running 2nd in the Group N Championship. The Manx is the last rally and if Dave goes well he could win this.


So, how many of you would like to take a trip over to the Isle of Man to cheer Dave on to a likely victory ?


If you are interested please reply to this thread as we need to plan the journey and accommodation


You can find out more about the Manx rally at the Manx Internation Rally Website (http://www.mir.co.im)


It would also be great to get some interest from the SIDC and try to make this one of our yearly events

Sounds like fun.

I've flown over to the IoM on business and it seemed a really nice place.

Two options I suppose:

a) Fly - I went from Liverpool with Manx Airlines.

b) Drive - Sounds a better option as I'd love to check out some of the roads over there.

Chris.

Already booked on for the Manx International.

Seven of us are going in two cars - my DBM MY2000 Turbo and a mates Lancia Integrale Turbo.

Ferries are not cheap but the five day return offer and a car load of people bring the price down.
