I honestly thought that all extractions these days were via the roof but maybe they have a different method of the car is upside down? I have no idea but this car definitely hasn’t had its roof removed and there is no obvious sign of a fire having occurred. I suppose it will all become common knowledge eventually. You clearly know what happened so why don’t you just say instead of speaking in riddles. Edited June 4, 2023 by Broadcasterman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget the Island used to host much more than the TT with major cycling and rallying events being much more popular in the past.

Albert Tatlock Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Can we just put an end to the speculation and guesses for now? It was clearly a serious accident and no doubt more will become apparent in the next couple of days...as to the seriousness of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a government pen pusher in 1886 this afternoon telling everyone he thought this was the best TT ever with zero deaths. So clearly it they know best then there's no more serious issues.

Asthehills Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 I didn’t see anything. I wasn’t marshalling where it happened I don’t know what happened I know what the car looks like now and asked some questions. That’s all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Port Erin was no busier than normal for a Sunny Saturday although the older demographic probably spent more. Spoke to a few traders today it was very quiet for Mad Sunday or any Summer Sunday. Hope Port Erin Day goes well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Port Erin Day goes well. Did they just start randomly swearing at you? Douglas was dead this afternoon, 1886 and the Rovers were alright but just like a normal sunny weekend. The Quay was quieter than I expected. Guess it will pick up this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
