Would love to do a uk road blast. Originally thought of heading north of border to see the sweaty socks ;) but realised that wouldn't suit the one-eyed cornwallians - so thought about a jolly to the IOM.....


What do we think chaps ? Long weekend tearing it up ? Been itching to go there since the top gear intro to csl

Im out there in July anyway, so if it could be done then it would be a bonus, get enough of us and put cars on a transporter !:hahaha:

So you thought the IOM would be easier than heading up to Scotland...? Geography and logistical considerations clearly aren't your forte Ian :hahaha: :hahaha:

Defo on my list of things to do, so I'm on for it, depending on timings :thumbs:

Anyone been watching TG on Dave the last couple of days? CSL has been on it a couple of times a day, got it Sky+'d now so I can flash it up after a few beers and screw up the volume to wake the neighbours!

:thumbs: I'd be up for a run to IOM at some point, ferries from this side NI/Eire might not be too shabby actually.

"excuse me miss, can you put this CSL in the over head bin?" . I have spent thousands with them over the years, so once we have numbers I could try for some discount, or I can get a rate for transporter, as we would use it both ways ... who knows...some of us may need it after hooning round the TT course !:hahaha:
