Isle of Man 2007 and 2008

[chris.t]

can you 'you tube' it Dave?

[DaveT]

Dont know how Chris- I had enuff problems getting this far. Methinks the file is too large anyway. Its about 50 minutes in length with soundtrack. I still need to work on it and sort it as pal. Lower quality but larger frame than current file. Could do with some expert help.
Boy where we going fast, and in the dark as well. You dont really realise it till you watch the second counter and see the distance travelled.
If you ask me nicely I'll send you a copy. Copies for Joe Paul and Neil also if you pm me your snail mails. Think Neil has original without soundtrack anyway.

[chris.t]

Dave could you bring a copy to the IOM.

Cheers Chris

[Enright]

No I don't.
But I'll PM you my address.

[DaveT]

Have just been contacted by the Sulby Glen Hotel and told that they have now de reserved the additional rooms I had put on hold in case there were any late bookers. If you have not already had confirmation of your room and ferry from the tourist services then you will have to take pot luck if booking late. If your not sure ring the hotel and ask for Rosemary and she'll sort you out.

I'm afraid I've had to pull out from this this year. I've not been able to book for a while and have now left it too late.

My apologies

Dave,
received my copy in the post this morning. Ta very much.

It was really good to watch the lap over again.

And I managed to catch a brief glimpse of my car in it as well..............parked up in the hotel car park at the end of the lap. In fact it had been there for the past 10 minutes with me and Neil standing around wondering where you and Eds had got to. We thought you'd stopped off for a cooked breakfast somewhere

3 weeks to go till we film the sequel

[Nobby]

I woz on my second pot of tea waiting for you an Enright.........

Edit... Dave I watched it 3 times now, its fanstatic. Now memorising to beat last years lap record..

[Dave Eds]

If you remember my car was running like a teapot!

It won't be this year.

[Nobby]

so you have a pass then?

[GeoffSmith]

It won't be running at all this year.

[Joe]

Sorry lads I've got to sit this one out. My Elan is still dead and work is bonkers at the moment shame as last year was blooming brilliant and I was looking forward to a repeat. Ah well maybe next year

[paulwatkins]

I've got to sit this one out.

Sorry to hear that Joe, .........but is there any chance that Tim could come along to help with running repairs?

[DaveT]

If you remember my car was running like a teapot!

steam driven? bit like rippers car then!!!!!!

I feel the need. The need for speed.....

Just been out for some practice. Thing about tracks are - you always run out of straight and have to slow down. Where else can you get the straight thats several miles long and you can keep the power on all the way down.

Cheeky bastard
It was your ar5e end I was crawling all over all the way to Ramsey. You only got away cos I looked after Daisy Eds from there.
-and what was all the braking for?

[paulwatkins]

.......-and what was all the braking for?

....minor preventative measures against running into the back of Neil!

Probably his loose nuts slowing him up


ChrisT - if you've got a lap top, bring it this weekend. I'll bring along the disc withthe footage.

As I've yet to see this (having provided my details somewhat late to Dave), it's difficult for me to defend myself against this onslaught!

I certainly remember that everything was fine on the way there, and during the first half of the weekend (including the trackday). But by the end I was suffering from practically dead brake-discs, naughty tyres, and my suspension wasn't suited to some of those narrow windy bumpy roads. To be honest neither were my nerves - I've done my Advanced test for both cars and bikes so know the theory and the lines, but would still rather not go barrelling into corners that I'm unfamiliar with trusting that the last guy made it through OK!

[chris.t]

will do Paul!

BTW I agree with Neil, the track is the place to find your limits not a narrow road with a dry stone wall lining both sides IMO
