chris4652009 Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Great to see so many across this year, must have been nearly 70 cars in total. All were observed to be driving well and boosting the local economy. A few of them are even returning in a few weeks with the Supercar visit. It was an Absolutely fantastic sight seeing them all up at the grandstand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing the ones I saw were driving too slowly. It upsets me to be held up by a car that cost three times what mine did and has more than three times the BHP. Have you got any more stupid and pointless questions? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an Absolutely fantastic sight seeing them all up at the grandstand I was out in mine on Monday and ended up parking next to some of them at the Sound and later in Peel. I think I confused some as they thought I was part of their group. Most seem to be heading back that afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a photo on the Jacksons FB site of baby blue Targa that might have been one. Usually I go up to the Comis to have a perv when the car clubs are over. But @Derek Flint stayed in Ramsey for some obscure reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an Absolutely fantastic sight seeing them all up at the grandstand We had 50 cars and 87 guests..I reckon we spent 60 grand in the economy over the 3 days and others stayed for a bit longer. Fynoderee sponsored our rally plates, we went to Roger Smiths and had pit stops at Jacksons and the Museum. Everyone had the second best car on the car park once the Singer turned up! 30 cars already rebooked for 2024. Great to see Scenic over again this week. S9 are in next weekend with all manner of exotica. There will always be detractors to what we do. Personally I think a few million quids worth of motors running around gives the place a continental feel. And generally people get it - look at the numbers that turn up at Jacksons next weekend to see the cars. And we could do more, apart from the lack of enablement from government. The feedback from this Porsche visit was tremendous and every visitor is an opportunity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
