For those enthusiasts who will not be able to attend this year, you may find http://www.iomttofficialprogramme.com/ well worth a visit.

You can still go to the Manx GP.............

Cheaper ferries

Cheaper accommodation

Cheaper beer

Better racing

More races

Anybody would think you were some sort of ambassador for the MGP, Cargo.

(By the way, he's not wrong)

Don't forget more variety

better more relaxed atmosphere

more space at the bar

Quieter roads, explore the island at your own pace in your own space !

I almost feel I should transfer this thread to the MGP section, or the TT people will take the huff!

AND Classier visitors from overseas. Can't wait.

there is always road racing ireland if you havnt been try it but be warned its highly addictive and cheaper.

My intention with my original post was to let people know that the 2008 programme can be pre-ordered on the web and they could win in a fabulous competition. But it looks like there is little interest.

Oh dear
Sorry keppelgater but it was too much for me to resist..........

I'm sure nearer the time lots of people who can't make it to the TT will want a copy of the programme.................
There are those who in the past have asked me to bring them a copy home now they can get their own.

It is a good idea, and every year we have people asking how to get a programme if they can't come, or if they want one early or for a friewnd. Not only can you get this year's programme, you can still get one of last year's. They are not available until late May, but here's the link again

To buy a 2008 programme, would be like rubbing salt into a wound, especially when one wants to be there, but can't because all the bloody ferries are so called full and hotels are being demolished to make way for luxury apartments.
The sooner they build a tunnel to the island the better, so we could ride in and ride out when we please
Bring back the good old days when the bikes were crammed in on the ferries, and when the lower decks were full, they would sick em' on the decks.

Oh, i just remembered, this is 2008, and health and safety rules.
