myTobago – your questions, review and comment about Tobago

Steve many congratulations on reaching 500 registered persons. I have looked at many other boards and must say myTobago is by far the best. Keep up the good work enjoy your holiday in January and look forward to reading your reports.

Hi John

Thanks - we're batting for a 1000 now.

Mind you, the 500 was a close-run thing. The 500th registered user is an obvious advertising post and would normally have been deleted. However, I think that many will agree with me that the concept of a "proper" motorcycle rental service on the island has great attraction. Mind you, I'm only 56, so not quite ready for a Harley yet. Now, a top-of-the range Ducati or similar could really turn me on (although I somehow think that the roads on Tobago might not be exactly suited).

hi steve

my performance choices are 4 wheeled and on my last trip i was, to put it mildly, somewhat surprised to find lurking in the garages by the s.p. village gift shop, ...... a black mitsubishi lancer evo V11 . and, yes, it was a real one.

this packs around 260bhp out of the box and is easily tweaked. full time 4wd, turbo, intercooled, water sprayed, pitch and yaw control, sub 6 secs 0-60, electronically limited to +/- 150mph, etc etc etc.

now that really is taking the p**s

Hi Paul

It’s quite amazing what can turn up on little old Tobago.

Although no longer ‘active’, I’ve long had a passion for horsepower on wheels. The first thing that crossed my mind when I read your story was “poser”. But, if you’re a genuine enthusiast, maybe it’s better to have a powerhouse and run about in first gear, rather than be stuck with boring, but appropriate, run-of-the-mill machines. It’s a dilemma.
