notwell Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 There is a maclaren 675 lt spyder coming to the island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Not surprising really, they are great cars - there's already 3 675LTs over here (and at least 1 650s spyder). BB - I hadn't forgotten the 918, I just wasn't sure whether or not one had been over here (or was locally owned). You'd think at least one of the local HNWIs would have been tempted by one.

MickyBlue Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 It's the third Sunday tomorrow - so the monthly meeting at the motor museum as Jurby. Forecast looks good too! Micky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The classic car bunch are a decent crowd, but it's not modern machinery. You're always going to run into the low-numbers problem here, especially if it's marque-specific. Although the number of 458's I've seen on pricey personalised plates - they could probably have a drecent-sized club on their own. Sorry to respond to such an old post. What's IAM? Can't seem to find any motorcycle petrolhead-specific thread (besides the TT ones) in the forum. Surely, I'm just missing it/them or perhaps I should be looking for their own websites? I'm considering moving to IOM and had the same petrol-head quest going and no, I'm not at all marque specific. I'm into cars and bikes, but for now mainly bikes.

I haven't read the whole thread, but has the Moddy Dhoo motorcycle club been mentioned? https://moddeydhoomcc.co.uk/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopek Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 With the performance available now for minimal fuel use, is the term " Petrol Heads'' appropriate anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opusManx Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) I've tended to always use the term "motor-heads". I was a-head of my time. Same rules apply. Rock n' Roll band reference not withstanding. (Maybe bc in N. America, we don't call it "petrol", but "gas" (gasoline abbreviated). Don't ask me why "gas-heads" never caught on. I suspect it's potential to be construed as an insult...Or to invoke fart-jokes.) Edited February 8, 2022 by opusManx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
