Witch upgrades for Centenary - thewitch - 10-03-2007
The witch has just taken delivery of a very fast bright red Oreck. This upgrade from her previous rather old fashioned transport is reputed to be able to "suck rabbits from hedges".
Lap times should be more in line with modern standards, and the TT will be cleaned up.
The new team colours and performance standards will be revealed soon in Castletown.

Excuse me for being dumb :roll: but is that a really highly tuned broom??
oreck - ian huntly - 10-03-2007
I was puzzled by the name oreck. not strictly being a housewife.
On "yahoo" there are a number of definitions when I punch in oreck, from sports planes to, er,vacuum cleaners...
have you got your PPL HELEN?
- John Foster - 10-03-2007
Alas, poor Oreck! I knew him Colin, a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy.

Oh, now I'm hurt... I don't look like Freddy M... come to that, Cargo doesn't look like Mr May, although he does have extreme hair!
- PeterCourtney - 19-03-2007
It was more the mini-skirt and fishnet stockings - not the moustache - that I was thinking of!
- thewitch - 19-03-2007
Oh, no, sweet talking won't work now.. I'm in the huff!
- cargo - 19-03-2007
Helen the picture you sent was a little small so I searched and found this hope it's the right one.

Oh, yes... the latest thing in witch transport. American, I'm afraid, but lightweight, fast, and when I'm not flying it, I can vacuum the place with it... the broom's out in the bucket!
- cargo - 19-03-2007
Helen it appears that Mr Oreck is something of a flyer so there may be some truth in the flying abilities of your machine

Och, that's cheating! ooo... haven't tried the upside down thing...would't all the dust fall out?
- thewitch - 19-03-2007
I'm out of the huff now. I do hope the ACU approve of my new modernised transport, specially acquired for the Centenary TT celebrations. We must all enter into the spirit of modernity. No more of these old-fashioned brooms, 2-strokes and wee bikes. OK? brmmm brmmm brmmm (4-stroke sound effect...)
- PeterCourtney - 19-03-2007
Maybe that is what is meant when people say you are a sucker for a road racer..........at least you are bagless, so can never be or have an old bag.....(or am I dyson with death saying that!)
