You know the Manx is getting near when........ - cargo - 11-07-2008
A very nicely lady at the Steam Racket answers the phone and is ever so kind and helpful when you offer to pay for your ferry tickets.
The final bit of credit card damage awaits...........
NOT LONG NOW

--------------just received approval from the BOSS to escape to the MGP. I will be "home" from the Middle East for a few weeks and although I have been attending the TT on and off since 1967, this will be my first visit to the MGP.
Arriving 25th and departing 1 Sept. staying at the Glenlough Campsite
.Will try to make contact with some of you.
RE: You know the Manx is getting near when........ - thewitch - 15-07-2008
Look forward very much to seeing you..... maybe we need a TTwebsite MGP night out??

23/8 here I come. You can't shout at me walking down Bray Hill footpath this year Helen.......staying in Peel for a change !
No rain please.
RE: You know the Manx is getting near when........ - thewitch - 15-07-2008
Oh, go on... come through to Douglas for a night out and I can yell at you in the pub!
RE: You know the Manx is getting near when........ - Kimbiker - 15-07-2008
My arm could be twisted !!! If I'm not to busy with the kippers of course.
What's the buses like from Peel - Douglas & back ?
Not much fun on the bike and having just 1 little pint !
Would be good to get together from the forum, and beer always make for easy conversation, well, that's my excuse.
RE: You know the Manx is getting near when........ - nutty slack - 15-07-2008
We arrive on the 20th and depart on the 31st, staying in Douglas so not too far for us to travel if a get together is arranged. Ferry and digs all paid up just need pocket money now. Can't wait to come back 'home' again. Hope to see some of you.

RE: You know the Manx is getting near when........ - thewitch - 15-07-2008
Buses ok to Peel, or even to Castletown, although they don't run very late. Sure we can organise something!
I'll get my thinking cap on.... party.... party... YES!
RE: You know the Manx is getting near when........ - Kenny - 16-07-2008
Your start numbers arrive in the post??
All numbers are on the MGP office wall I hear (few of us got ours from a friend racing at the Southern 100) anyone know when the final instructions and numbers are due to be received.
I expect the campsite plan will be within too

thewitch Wrote:Look forward very much to seeing you..... maybe we need a TTwebsite MGP night out??Helen, we first met at the gathering you organised at TT04.
Then again at the S100 Clubhouse on the Saturday. Will be alone this year
as wifey has a bad back and I will be on my bike.If there is a formal or informal get-together, I will support it.
RE: You know the Manx is getting near when........ - cargo - 16-07-2008
I had hoped race numbers and final instructions would have arrived toady but alas no.......................
I did get my ferry comfirmaion today so the credit card worked [again]........................
I'm sure Helen will arrange something for a TTwebiste meet up and failing that you'll all be made very welcome at our "house".
If you go to the paddock we will be right underneath the big red splodge

RE: You know the Manx is getting near when........ - The Bag - 16-07-2008
Haven't they cleared that red splodge up from last year yet Cargo??
Kimbiker, come to Douglas, you don't need to worry about getting back to peel just locate a paddock dweller there'll be plenty of spare room somewhere in the paddock.
And you know when the manx is getting close when the weeks seem to take twice as long to get through
4 weeks and 2 days till I hit the road to Heysham
Not that I'm that bothered or anything
