Dave and I are looking to arrive at 6:45 I'll be taking the Golf as I'm doing my bit for MAS and Autotest/Autocross

Just a reminder about this 7-9pm I heard you went a bit prematurely Tony Could you not wait? Sorry Dude

Welcome Steven, Met you at Dave's the day you were going to look it over. Good choice Enjoy

So hows the car progressing? you getting any time at it.

Saw the Celica at service on Friday night, but it didn't finish on Sat. Don't know when it dropped out or for what reason

I'll be seeing all the stages as I'm in an "A" car, But probably will not see any of the competitors doing their stuff. May see Peel as once we have been through there our job is done till the clearing away.

Dave Dude, See SS 3 & 6 INJEBRECK of the Jaks Rally comes out just at the back of yours in Crosby. you going to venture out tonight and see any of the action? roads close on SS 3 at 19:30 Car 1 starts at 19:53

8 is good for me dudes

Morning Dudes, So is this on for tonight and is so what time we saying?

So hows 8:00 at the Crosby sound, or is 7:30 OK?

Just remembered, pretty sure the Creg is shut on a Monday night So were now Dudes

Sure thing, When and where? Hows Monday night sound?

Good one Dave Dude, If the club could even supply some sticker and a banner. Its not hard or costly to cut a section of board paint it, then pin printed stuff to it. and I've got a laminator so makes them last to. So who's a graphics whiz on the old PC then

What size is the flag Dude? Think at that time of evening the car park should be empty

Anybody feel like helping out with a bit of casual marshaling? For the Sunday ,10:00am starting at 10:30

Dave Dude, You got any SIDC sticker, poster? How about making up a board to sit out with details of SIDC IOM stuff, pic, could scan the true Grip review of Scooby fest. Also how about getting a IOM flag and getting the SIDC logo stitched onto it? Just some ideas to promote the club.

Nice down by Castletown, Road get yourself an Ordnance Survey map No. 95 covers the Island. pick yourself out some routs and go drive. Driving the TT course is a must and think of a bike doing just that at an average speed for the forty miles of 130mph For a good blast you cant beat over the mountain from Ramsey to Douglas or vise verso Just remember it can be icy up there this time of year. Eats, the Garrison in Castletown is a very nice Wine and Tapas Bar good to keep the ladies happy. In Douglas Paparazzi on the front is a very nice Italian, That's my favorit. there is loads, the Slug and lettuce is good to and for a coffee I would recommend The Alpine just opposite the main post office in Douglas. I'm not to up on the night life in Douglas, due to my age and its not my thing, but I'm sure somebody will post up some pointers on here. If the ladies are happy shopping, coffee and seeing lovely scenery then you will be fine.

Are you going to be staying in or around the Douglas?

Yeah that's a point, I keep meaning to check this out. I'm a SIDC members, but on the left here it just says forum user. Hows that then? Good though sounds like there is a few of us going, so on the up side if its not our thing. Then we can all chat to each other

Great the car will have the youngsters green. Did you not get stickers when you joined SIDC? I got two an inside window and an outside sticker and a tax disc holder when I joined. Mind you I only have the one sticker to show now, as the others got trashed in the P1

Fine Dave Dude, Just glad to be back home. Oh, Derek Flint is looking for some Hot Metal to be in attendance at the Young Drivers thing at the Sea Terminal on th evening of the 29th Feb Its aimed at drivers from 16 to 25 but good to have some cars there for the YD to aspire to. So would a few of the SIDC members feel like going down to promote SIDC and show off their car? What do you think Dudes?

Pics look great, shame I missed it as I was planing to go, but the holiday in Thailand was good too

Yeah, As the owner you should have got a copy of the map/maps for your car. I have three different maps for my Dax and I have made copies of all the maps and keep them safe. If you don't have a back up copy and your Apexi ECU goes tits up, then you are back to square one again and have to get the thing maped out again. If you didn't get a copy then I would ask for one. Plus also looks good if you go to sell the car that you have a copy of the ecu map. Do you see what I mean now?

Dude did you not back it up, Can he email it back to you as an attachment of do you think he will have wiped it.
