i guess these are the same as the buggies they had last year that did the same? just with shells ontop now?

they fooking ave it!

Through the show they had a mix of cars from lot's of different race categories (rally, autocross, banger racing...) This mini looked like a genuine Zcar, rear wheel drive with a bike engine and soft as shit suspension so he pop the wheelies, it was an awesome sight!

A man without a project is like a like a woman without a shopping list.

Sheepseed was running Endaf's Polo with twin bike engine back on autosports 07.

We had a mad weekend, with looking after endafs car, stag party, and 24 hour kart race with the mini7 club and seeing some of the show, bloody hard work

Ben, we came over on Sunday about lunchtime, but I think you had already gone?

Spoke to Steve and a another bloke who was a right legend (big beard), they were reminising about some of the hillclimb stages they used to commentate on here on the island, good memories!

Own the day

I was only there on Thursday and Saturday. That will be Steve Filkin and probably Jerry Sturman, a legend indeed. Oh well maybe next year.

Yeah jerry was a master, talking about the old days hill climbing here on the Isle of Man.

He mentioned the TT course, how they used to run Formula 1 and F3 cars from Hillberry up to Kate's Cottage as a stage, they were clocked at 168mph...on a closed but normally public road!! I asked my old man about it and he remembers it well, said the noise and speed was unreal.

"If i'm not in action...i'm in traction"

found a video of the old hillclimbs...this is the gooseneck stage on the TT course.
