A little soiree of ours in about 8 supercars are frequenting The Isle of Man from Thurs till Sat this week (LP560-Spyder, G Spyder, Scud, CLK Black, F430, GT3RS, 997TT, 700 bhp Sagaris!)

Is anyone based over there who fancies hooking up?

Or anyone due over for a tear up before the TT stuff starts happening the week after ?

Should be fun, can anyone recommend any particular roads etc ?

Is there a lappy bar on the island ?

Just drive the Mountain Road over and over again with regular stops at the Creg Ny Ba corner pub to calm yourself down...

Keep reminding yourself: this is legal.

I'll be there(F430), looking forward to meeting everyone, and can't wait to drive some fast roads without looking out for blue lights!

We'll be a little late unfortunately. Steve(GT3RS) and I couldn't get a sailing other than 7pm out of Liverpool!

Looking at the force 10 gales blowing, we will mostly likely be at the bottom of the Irish Sea at 7pm anyway, so dont rush smile

Well, if by some miracle we end up alive and over there, I'd love a passenger ride in your Gallardo smile

700 bhp? In a 1078kg car? That should be quite quick. Gutted that FP won't be there in his Scud frown

Isle of Man, what an ace place for having a hoon about

I didn't want to mention at the time, but your crossing was a breeze in comparison....... wink

Great to meet such a great bunch of lads, and superb cars. Your 560 in that tunnel under the Mersey sounded like a screaming werewolf straddling an Exocet missle.

That mountain road was unreal, had a similar drive last night on the A470, but looking for coppers all the time takes the edge off, I'm going back to the IOM Soon. Even if the crossing is less fun than having a vasectomy!
