In my loft are packages of information, results, souvenirs and items from every year since my first visit in 1947...........They are, believe me, substantial packages, which I can use to do my articles, research and the like, and it is a real joy to look back over the years to remember those glorious TTs..............

This year, I returned home with a relatively
which really does not relate to a two week event !!

However,a lot of printer ink was used to
print info,to jog the memory in the future but what happened to all the packs, the odds-and-sods and kitsch that made the TT in the past ????

I am NOT too old to accept progress and use a computer on a daily basis but we need to have the "heart" of the TT re-established....I too loved to get the TT Special :: surely this could be reproduced as part of a website.....Do the manufacturers ignore the TT and no longer profile their riders and machines...........When we had the pigeon holes they were stuffed with good, honest, RETAINABLE" info which was great to digest...and keep !!!
It's all very well putting stuff on a website but it is not easy to retrieve it when you can't find a socket in which you can plug yer laptop !!

I can still talk to people and gleaned info that way, and took photos for myself....But it is not enough I'm afraid...........
