I am on the island for a long weekend, staying with family.

Driving the Peel Road toward Peel from Douglas I noticed the biggest ever collection of Honda soft top "Sports Cars"  I have ever seen, ever, in a convoy, of sorts. (Interspaced with a couple of tractors and vans) 

Question for Derek Flint  -

Are You Derek, yes you Derek,  responsible for bringing over this massive collection of Hair Dressers?

And if so, what are the Premier League footballers planning on doing to get a  haircut for this weekends matches?

Are the footballers all coming to the island too?

Honda s2000 owners club meeting.

Just one of many groups who visit the island each year and our money into the economy.  I would imagine they are annoyed the mountain is closed though.

I know a number of people who have first visited on these sort of events who now live here and employ people. 
 

It’s all good for the island

That may be so but what about Premier League footballer's haircuts? 

ETA. I assume you are a Honda S2000 owner then?

I really need a haircut, can you PM me your salon details please?

Oh I see, it’s a hairdressers joke 🙄, presumably because they are driving open too sports cars?

They didn’t look like hairdressers last night and most seemed to be enjoying the local hospitality .

What you got up to with them last night is your business, we don't need details thanks.

I suppose that people will make a club out of anything ultimately. But I'd struggle to get excited about one of those.

Good for you.

I bet there are things you are into that other people would struggle to get excited about.

It’s a group of people with a common interest enjoying a bit of socialising.  Good for them

Whats the point in bringing car clubs here at this time of the year when the mountain road is closed for 3 weeks and the speed limit from Douglas  to Ballacraine  is 30 and 40 miles per hour , 

is DOI trying to kill off  all motorsport  related events , it seems crazy when you can turn off onto the Starvey road and there is an unlimited  speed sign on a road you are lucky to travel at more then 20 miles per hour on

I can imagine people getting excited about a cool prestige brand. But Honda?

Meh.

My hobbies and interests probably wouldn’t excite you, and yours probably wouldn’t excite me.

Live and let live eh?

PS - have you ever been in an S2000 at full VTEC?  There are much faster cars out there, but there is something quite addictive to full on VTEC.

But it's such a naff car brand. No style at all.
