Tree, I did wondered what happened! Glad everything was ok!!

Saw you heading anti clockwise round the course at Ballaugh.

Double whites? What about the ones at the waterworks? You not ment to cross those? Have fun getting your car round the corner then!!

I was working today in Ramsey and went out to two appointments in my wifes Fiat Barketta and came back the mountain way, a bit busier but still quiet. Had a good run in the Barketta with it's 1.8 16v engine, followed a white 205 1.9 gti, dam handsome chap driving it !

Need to work out driving home in the track car back from Ramsey each day whilst having a road car for appointments..

some 1 mention a handsome chap with a sun tan!

Been for the first trip into work and it's all wet, greasy and foggy up there....

They've done the turn onto the mountain from Tholt-y-Will differently this year too - Preferred last year where you could turn onto the mountain and use the cones that divided the lanes up towards Hailwoods as an acceleration stage. Now they've got a corner and no seperation pulling lane onto the mountain. Not as safe methinks. Someone pulling away from tholty could get rammed by someone pulling for an overtake as soon as they get to the junction...

Glad it's all good Tree can't have you missing out on all the fun!

I too was caought in that and once more, that's why the earlier the better (both time wise and before all the bikes come!)

The double white lines rule makes no sense to me when the road is one way. Where are these rules posted? There is nothing about it as you approach the one way system. How are the visitors supposed to know about it?

Been over twice in the 535d M Sport now - nice apart from the second time with the wife.

Top tip for when the roads get busier is to get up to the top of Hailwoods Rise through Injebreck, watch the nutters until somebody crashes on the Ramsey side and they close the road. Then it's all yours to Kates Cottage. Did this for the last two Mad Sunday's and always works a treat! Ok you don't get the full section, but what is left becomes your own private race track.

Mentions on here about the Solid White Lines..... Don't agree with them but rather play by the rules...
