Hi guys
Glad you enjoyed our small part of the country.
I have lived here now for 4 years and love it here.
Dont recall seeing any of you but I make it a habit of waving at every one I see, the looks I get sometimes are hilarious.
I do remember some Scoobs sitting on the mountain by the tram tracks the other sunday when I was out for a lap, dunno if it was you, I came past havin a blast with a bike. we both pulled out to pass a white van just after the tracks and went off up the road. Would have waved but kinda needed both hands on the wheel
This is me

Thats just typical of the Steam Packet mate. Its a shame they have a monopoly, thier service might be better if they had some competition.
Why would they not let you on the Seacat?
I know who to go with for my breakdown cover then, was plannin on taking some out for when I come over for the F1 in July.
I wish you all the best mate and hope you are back on the road soon.

Will be going to the next track day myself........ Did you get your motor from Swifts in Douglas by any chance?
Got a set of 17`s on the car when i got it but blew a tyre up on the way to the wildlife park last weekend and haven`t got round to getting a new one yet! Couldn`t be doing with driving round with that spare effort so stuck the gold ones on for now!! Not into them much though so i`m gonna get rid.
Not sure about price for them,dunno how much they go for over here? They got 2 pirelli and 2 yoko`s on them which are still good.I can pm ya my number if ya mates interested or pop into the shop sometime through the week.
Think i better go to bed actually,that Colours is a bad bad place!!

Yeah I did get it from Swift, they had it for months before I went to look at it, not sure how many people went to look at it or test drove it, but as soon as I drove it I reckon I found out why it had not sold. It had a really bad cough and stutter between 2000 and 3000 rpm due to a faulty MAF and it had a really badly coroded exhaust full of holes along the center section, so used these and a few other things as bargining tools and came away with a nice WRX for not alot of cash.
Got a second hand MAF and fitted a full de-cat afterburner downpipe and center with a Vortex back box from ScoobyWorld and hello sweet ride Have since added an STi top mount and Y piece which increased the boost to 1.1 bar from 0.9
Yeah either PM me or pop into the shop through the week, I will speak to my mate.
Hows the head by the way?
So Marv, when you guys comin back over?
