Awesome day. Thanks very much for organising it. Can't believe so many cars turned up. Didn't know that the run involved a bit of drifting action though :D

I am so glad I was a part of such a great run. It reassured me in what it means to own an mx5. Thanks to everyone for being so friendly. Thanks Joni and Chris.

Great job Chris and Joni. I believe that this run has broken the previous record for number of MX-5s on a regular run. Great to see all of the grins as we took in the curves of the road and associated views.


Mio, sorry I didn't realise that was you. Would have spoken to you about the vary nose has I realised.

What a great day.
I had an absolute ball.
Thanks to the organisers, it was very well run.
I was in a group up the front and was very happy and comfortable with the pace. Must say my car is a little twitchy at the moment, time for an alignment and play with the settings on the Konis I think.
I had to leave early, realised what time it was when the Apollo bay drivers briefing started and had to go.
Thanks again to all involved.

Chris And Joni

have to take my beanie off to you both. :mrgreen:
Fantastic day, great company and on their second run they achieve a new club record for attendence. Fantastic effort.
The day had a bit of everything, even the cops got a nice little earner!
(not from us this time)
Great to see more of the newer members and forumites, i wanted to come chat and meet some of you but having just got our new baby i wanted to show him off a bit.
We had a great trip back from Apollo bay with Sam. Fatty and Fastfreddy! Sam, was that really a plain copper you overtook? :shock:

had a great time. so many people there ! :shock:

it was good to catch up with some old faces and also to chat to some folks i hadn't met before. i think i enjoyed the social aspect as much as the driving. it would have been nice to say hi to a few more people but i guess the driving got in the way of to much socialising :mrgreen: .

thanks to joni and chris. oh and a special mention of congrats to fred and roady on their new beast! BLACK SP, does it get any better than that!?!?!?!

Congrats Joni & Chris on such a well organised event. The massive turnout speaks volumes for your preparation.

Took a whole heap of photo's whilst riding in various cars (Thanks to Ben, Rodders & Monique) and will post them online within the next 48 hours.

That was an impressively ballsy maneuver.
I wasn't going to get close as my new exhaust system is just a tad loud.
:oops: :oops:

Great run, good company and kudos to Joni and Chris!

After leaving Apollo Bay we were going through the twisties and Fastfreddy just got past the traffic in front of me and took off around a corner out of site when I started hearing this noise. It sounded like a jet or something, then I realised it was Fastfreddy at full song. I wasn't even close to him at the time :shock: Then there was the sound of him downshifting behind us with the sound echoeing off the cliff faces. Absolutely nuts :lol:
