There was shock on a strange lump of rock in the Irish Sea this week following news that the Isle of Man is to be closed, except to road testers from car magazines.
“We decided that since every car magazine seems to be here every other week we might as well just hand the island over to them,” said the Isle of Man Minister for Roads, Education, Birching and Witches. “So we’re going to chuck everyone else off. Otherwise, how will there be room for all the road testers? ARE YOU A WITCH?” he added.
However, the radical Manx plan hasn’t gone down well with everyone. “This plan is a disgrace,” said a one eyed man whose Adam’s apple also appeared to be his nose. “As soon as I heard about it I had to tell my mother, my sister and my wife, and she’s disgusted too. WE FEAR WITCHES!” he added.
The news about the becoming-cliched island is a welcome shot in the arm for car magazines following last week’s disastrous announcement that the Nurburgring is to be closed for rebuilding after it was discovered that Nissan had secretly shortened it by 950 yards in order to make the GT-R’s lap time look better.
