No problems this year Helen,
all our time that was allocated to engine changing last year will this year be spent at The Manor.

I took the shell off my racing snail thinking it would make him faster.
It just made him more sluggish.

I reckon by now Chris is wondering what he has let himself in for.

Re: Any TT Teams interested in adopting me?
Used to think I was considered crazy for racing sidecars by the generally uniformed public out here on the fringes of civilization. Gradually coming around to the conclusion that crazy is just a universal pre-requisite for everyone involved with sidecar racing.kew wrote:I reckon by now Chris is wondering what he has let himself in for.![]()

KEW is very partial to a bit of Rochefort cheese. You will get on well if you donate a lump.

Re: Any TT Teams interested in adopting me?
Speaking of buying stuff...
If I'm living in the paddock for 2 weeks I figure I'm going to be paying for some stuff (I'm guessing mostly beer, food and souvenirs, probably in that order). Am I going to be able to pay for any of that with a Visa card (i.e. do they accept them in the pubs, beer store?, eating establishments, grocery stores)? If I need to use cash are there bank machines (on the INTERAC or PLUS) networks near the paddock? If I have to resort to travelers checks are they accepted by anyone?
It is relatively easy for me to obtain some British currency before I come, I'm assuming that won't offend anyone if I use it at the TT?
