Don, You clearly have given this idea alot of thought and what an idea! I agree with your proposals. The location and intention to house such a collection/museum/meeting place is right on the mark I just hope that it can be realised. At TT 2007 I visited the Manx Museum to see the centenary exhibition on Mad Sunday. Big mistake, it was closed. I'm still astonished that the museum was closed that day. Time and 3 consecutive race days meant that I never got to see the exhibition at all. It is unlikely that I will visit again before the current exhibition closes.

Now that Murrays has closed and been dispersed perhaps the time is right for such an idea as you propose. The history of this event must be recorded in such a way that it's people, their machines and their stories celebrates all that is special about the IOM and the TT.

All I ask is that you stay open on Sundays. alf
