Bobbie Bobster Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 'mentions in all promotional material' for goodness sake, it's a throwaway event to get a dozen motoring hacks to drive your facelifted car for a couple of hours. The sort of thing that Audi probably do half a dozen times a year. It's done and gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non-Believer Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 And they're even coming to Ramsey! For half an hour over the weekend. With the Courthouse as a backdrop. It was bound to come in useful for something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superb photography isn’t going to bring people to the island or help fill in the black holes in the islands finances. Yes some people on the island will benefit nicely, I certainly won’t, but I’m helping to subsidise the very people who will benefit, so please forgive me for expressing my opinion. Incidentally, like many other taxpayers on the island, my taxes are used towards the TT/FOM etc. I do not get anything out of this event. I don’t dislike it, but unlike some who treat Motorsports like a wet dream. I merely express my opinion, even if it’s comes across as moaning. Sorry if I come across as moaning. You must pay an enormous amount of income tax to support the Civil Service, The TT, MGP and now the Audi promotion. I am jealous of you HNWs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah. If you were in the DED you would insist on getting 5% of all money spent on the island by people coming over in new Audis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2112 Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 Just a hypothetical scenario, now that is taxpayers own the Steam Packet, could the idiots at DED and others, promise all sort of cheap fares and cut price deals for cars, coaches and freight. I’m only mentioning as a discussion point. If they did, it would result in genuine travellers having to pay extortioninate prices. I personally can see this happening before long.
