Still around
Dear Folks, I am still reading this forum most days but have been doing some other projects up to now.
In fact I am just back from the annual Titanic Convention which was a long weekend in Liverpool so I used it as a "dry run" for the TT visit in May-June since I have only fairly recently started distance driving since my episode before Christmas !

Actually, I am looking forward to this years TT...

It has had its ups and downs this year, but I personally feel positive about it, even though Shaun won't be racing..I hope he will come back to racing in 2007 (my 60th year as a TTFAN)..........

Paul Phillips deserves his promotion having taken all the recent flak and controversy in his stride. Elsewhere, there are to be attempts to raise the profile of the TT and that can not do harm at this time of the new century.

I feel I had to post this brief missive so that all of you who have wondered where I have gone, will see that I am still here in my arm chair with my "Pringles" rambling on.

See you ALL on the Island !! NOT LONG NOW !!!!!!!!!!**

Glad to see you are ok Ian.I am sure the "little people" will welcome you with open arms.The TT needs all the real fans it can get.I will however,reserve my judgement until this year's event is over as there are many areas regarding safety and newcomers, which will have to be proved to work before I and many other people,are able to put our faith in the current organisation.Have a great time,wish I could be there.
