Re: Isle of Man 'Festival of Motoring'

So after a brief stop outside our hotel, we set off again, on the same route we had made a few hours earlier, stopping off at the Creg-Ne-Baa pub/cafe/restaurant, for 'afternoon tea' :D We were delayed by what we later found was one of the Caterhams, from a different tour, had gone off the road righ...

Re: Isle of Man 'Festival of Motoring'

Sunday dawned with... you guessed it... more rain. Starting to get a bit peed off now... :? And another early start, for another drive down to Douglas, to meet at the TT course start-line grandstand, before setting off on a 'police escorted motorcade' from Douglas back to Ramsey. I was driving so I ...

Re: Isle of Man 'Festival of Motoring'

The next day was to be a bit more relaxed - a drive back down to Douglas and park up on the promenade for the day, as part of the Classic & Sports Car Display. Again, we were in the first group, due there at 9am, but thanks to another wet morning, the organisers delayed the start time by 2 hours...

Re: Isle of Man 'Festival of Motoring'

Moving inside the Museum, I was surprised to see an early Viper as part of their 'red' collection... (parked with a London bus and some Ducati's :-k ) The grouping of the other exhibits seemed a bit less tenuous :lol: Some of the odd-balls that I liked, first, before the more conventionally interest...

Re: Isle of Man 'Festival of Motoring'

After a more relaxing drive, back on 'open' roads, north to Jurby, we got to the Motor Museum and parked up amongst the other classics and not-so-classics ;) Scotty Dave's already posted a bunch of photos that show what a great collection the museum had, with a large proportion of American limo's an...

Re: Isle of Man 'Festival of Motoring'

To get there we had a 20 mile drive, and being in the first group to set-off, we had to be there at 9am. As it tur...
