See you here then Timo. There are quite a few scoobys over here, must be the cheap(er) insurance. Consider yourself invited for coffee at the international then!

Timo, Parasite city, clearly all your taste is in your car and your mouth! You get a betta class a slappa in the Cave! Seriously though, the crowd tell me the Venue is the place these days. See you there then.
SIDC are having a birthday bash here in September (go look at their site) and I understand that the mountain will be one way from Ramsey to the Creg for scoobies only. Should be a laugh.
I am told by a friend that our 22b owning friend at Duke is less than happy with his lot; seems it's gone bang a couple of times. It's onlt hearsay mind, so bear that in mind. See you in Septeber if you are coming. BTW, mine's a 99 STi ra in blue.

ooohh

Paramount city,never went in while we were on our TT holiday but was pleasantly flashed at by some bird with a nice set of hooters from the top window

We also went to Studerbakers,thats one hell of a dive,but they had some strippers on, at £6 entrance we had our wallets fealt!!

The Mannin had some nice lasses on but £6 in and £10 a dance!!

Colours was a nice gaff

The Venue was packed every night we were there,so we never went in

I've also heard that Mr Duke has had a few engine rebuilds. Perhaps he should give me his car


I thought the mountain run was just for the TT wasn't it? It was good fun, especially picking off the bikers....

manxwrx, who did your service?
I understand the mountain will be closed again , in September, for the SIDC to abuse. I intend to take full advantage! Should be interesting.

Colours used to be called Toffs for 50 weeks of the year and for TT it changed its name to the Pit Stop. The place where Charlie Williams did all his radio programmes from.
Sad but true.

why are there more scoobies per square foot on this rock than anywhere else but there are only 2 of us on this board??

Thumbs up

Guys,

we are indeed coming over in September to the Isle of Man, and we will indeed have the mountain section closed on the Sunday morning.

Full details at:

www.sidc.co.uk/iom.htm

I'm already in touch with about 5 or 6 local owners on the Island who are taking part in the event, and they are talking about meeting up prior to us all coming over.

You're never poor if you've got a scooby! Well, maybe the petrol does add up a bit, but in spirit.....

Where did you get your service done? It's a bit of apain for me as i have to get my service done across the pond.

Soon we will be able to fill a table at the Queens! Would be interested to know where you guys get the servicing done though.
