Did anyone get stranded due to the ferry cancellations ? Didn't get a chance to spy on the webcams so hope there are some good photo's of this year....


Ian - yes, I've got the Trek R on mine. Its a quick & simple swap if you use the right adapter plate (just need an earth wire to the horn push). Don't buy a boss kit as they are too much hassle & you don't need one.

Ha, we got stranded and had to spend an extra half day on the island. Went for a couple more hoons before we left. Got in at 4:15 thins morning. Although the roads where wet for much of the weekend, we still got plenty of serious driving in. The mountain is fun, of course, and we found loads of other places for a blast as well.

Thanks for making this trip one to remember. New friends made and good memories. Will pop some photos up when I get a chance.

Thanks to Alison and Dean for organising yet another top trip, we both loved it, and it was great to met new people!

We did Heysham to Cheltenham in 2 hours 20, but had to slow down half way due to the insane amount of noise the diff was making. So it made the last bit of the trip today from Cheltenham to home on the back of a trailor I'm afraid. Its off to see Toby and Claire at TVRfix on Thurs for some tlc!

Thanks again

Charlie and Tracey

Hi guys, just about recovered enough to make a sensible post on here at last!

I had an incredible weekend, and it was an absolute pleasure meeting you all. Really exhausting but so worthwhile, and it's been horrible this week having to work AND not floor the gas when the national speed limit comes into view wink


Bring on next year, I'll definitely be there.
