TheTeapot Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Is that nonsense an organised event? It would be great to be at the front of that queue in a rusty old transit or a massive 80s Volvo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh would have been so much better if I hadn't had to negotiate white van man who must have been let on to the road at the Bungalow before the lead bikes got up from Ramsey. If you remember that was the day you led all the bikes up to the hairpin and told us to wait there, and some dozy hippy type went to head straight up, when you shouted at him he jammed on his brakes and practically fell off at walking pace in the middle of the road. As it happens he only made it a few miles before he binned it. edit for spelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there are people who move from big cities to quiet rural areas who often need to have a recording of traffic to listen too to enable them to sleep.

La Colombe Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Here's one 'supercar' fan who won't be coming to the island this year. Or rather two. Worth noting the statement from the dead boy's family. Alexander’s family, from Kings Worthy, near Winchester, said: “We hope the media coverage has in some way increased awareness of the fragility of life and the danger of driving powerful cars for however short a journey and the necessity of adhering to all sensible safety measures.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was an idiot who got into a car, pressed the accelerator too hard and killed a kid all in the space of a few seconds. It was a sad, completely avoidable incident if the guy engaged his brain first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
