This was my first run with hubby Rob and what an impressive one to pick for my initiation. Did not expect to see many MX5,s. Thank you to Chris and Joni for the organisation of the day. I am sure this will not be my last run.

That was an impressively ballsy maneuver.[quote]

Yeah I passed him doing about 110 according to the Navman. I didn't realize until I got next to him and saw his uniform and data panel. Doh. It was too late by then so I pulled in front and and sat on 105. He obviously wasn't interested in us. Some others were not so lucky today. Conditions were good for a safe speed crepe of a few k's.

Really enjoyed the run frome Skenes Creek to Forest. Lots of challenging conditions in the twisties.

Great run Joni and Chris. Congrats on your record and a very well turned out day.

Thanks to all of you for a great day -- cause without ya we would be sitting in KFC carpark at 5 am with a clipboard and instant coffee.....

I am VERY glad you enjoyed the run today and we ( as in Chris and I) hope to make it a bit of an annual event if we can, improving it as we go!

Any thoughts would be most welcome....

See you at the next one, thanks again to all that showed up and others that didn't .. suffer in your undies!!! :lol:

Zoom Zoom peoples.....
Chris & Joni

mate.... your car is one of the best looking NA's going around, i think due to the hardtop, the colour, the wheels, and the missing mud flaps. your car looks hot! it's just a perfect combination of good taste!! i cruised home with you from deca actually, (altho we didn't actually introduce ourselves :roll:

) , and i was admiring your car the whole way home. i didn't know you were "slugoid" until i pointed your car out to fastfreddy as we were setting off on the way home, and he told me it was your car. so anyway, next time i will try to say hello .

Fantastic Stu. I really enjoyed looking at all of those. I'm surprised you managed to get so many shots from my car considering how much you were being thrown around :lol:
