Hi Guys
Great trip
I think that you E21 experts ought to check out the IOM for a visit- remember NO speed limits TT course of 37.5 miles

and this






shows some of IOM- the Roof jumpers are from IOM and this is entirely shot here

yes that's right!

lots of car claubs organise trips over to IOM
see below Porsche Club GB:
http://www.porscheshop.co.uk/bcatalog/p ... m_menu.php
I would start by contcating Steampacket for any deals here:
http://www.steampacketholidays.com/

You could time the trip to coincide with Manx Classic - last weekend of April 2013 (if you get organised we can set up a class for E21s)
- or a Duke Trackday at the race track
http://www.duketrackdays.com/
In any event I would recommned staying at Mount Murray Hotel (lots of secure parking)http://www.booking.com/hotel/gb/mount-m ... tAodWBoAdA

and book yourselves in for a BBQ at my place!!

How about that for an offer???

are those brakepads?

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you.

Don't think so, it's more dirt gathered during a week of driving and quite some rain some days. I'm pretty hard on brakes but this would be too much on the streets haha

Tim: Thanks, I'll do some studying and check with the guys here!
