2015 TopCat Manx Classic Races

Post by TopCat »

Not such a clean up this year! Thank goodness I hear - about time someone else won................!

My clutch went on day one

we changed it for some old plates I had but missed day 2

Took it easy on day 3 as I only had 0.60 mm left in the plates- and consequently was beaten by a well prepared local Mustang.

pretty damp and hairy- you may enjoy this:


We had an amazing entry list of pre-war classics including 7 Bugattis see here:



and



great fun

will have a new clutch very soon! (and some new tyres!)- promise to be better prepared next year.

Haha like driving on eggs we say in dutch, real careful especially with V8 torque ready waiting

Real pity about the clutch!

And, I do love that pre war stuff, I really want a lap in on of those Bugatti's, passenger lap is fine, I think I'll be stunned.
My girlfriend became friendly with Bugatti collector Olav Glasius but sadly he had a one seater with him otherwise she would have gotten that passenger lap!
