Some of our register members entered the Peel Carnival with their Minis.
They went as "Top Gear For Tynwald" and each of the "Top Gear" team had a manifesto appropriate to them which caused some laughter amongst the crowds lining the streets of Peel.
A very convincing Stig as always didn't say too much but also kept his identity secret.

The crew had a great result in coming third out of all the entrants!
