Think there was only 2 there. My white NA and another red NA shared by 2 brothers.
Sadly MX5 less for a while.

Galaxy Grey NC on Frankston Freeway near Springvale Road at 1740 hours. Young brunette driving conservatively in in drizzle and greasy conditions.
Every time I visit the metro area I marvel at the patience of people who tackle stop start peak hour driving every day.

Who is TIGGI (silver NB on Calder Freeway yesterday morning)?
And I take it you have speed detection detection devices?
And why was your roof up on such a lovely sunny morning?

Great weekend for driving with this glorious warm autumn light and sunshine. On trip to CBD and back via Peninsula Saturday saw "Gluey" white NB turning from Punt Road on Richmond Hill at 1425 hrs top down enjoying the weather. Presume the plate refers to this particular MX5's adhesion through the twisties.
20 minutes later saw a nice silver SE in Dudley Street West Melbourne and later at about 1600 hrs saw a well loved (judging by the presentation) red NB turning from the Moorooduc Highway at Frankston.... but points deducted for top up.
This is fun isn't it....a bit like BP Spotto when we were kids!

It was a lovely day for a cruse up Marysville way, the elm trees were dropping their leaves, very nice.
Spotted a dark (it was in the shade and moving quick) NB, top down, heading out of Yarra Glen on the Eltham - Yarra Glen Road around midday ish. Waves exchanged
Another NB, top up, heading into Healesville from the Black Spur just after midday ish. Waves exchanged
An NC, top down, with a pair of ladies on board, heading into Yea on the Whittlesea - Yea Road at about 2:30 ish. Confused looks
Also a bit of good news, the Whittlesea - Yea Road between King Lake West and Flowerdale is back to a 100 km/h zone most of the way.

Spotted Kent on Friday night, Bourke Rd Camberwell. You were following me up the hill before you passed me and then turned into a side street (St Helens I think). You would not have known it was me as I was in the family car (Silver X5 with HTH number plates).
Also spotted a silver SP with a silver hardtop turning into Epworth hospital on Bridge Rd. I have seen the car a couple times there so he must a local.

Silver SP - KAAZ LSD, Enkei Rims, PSS9's and Project Mu Caliper upgrade kit.

Re: Spotted VIC TAS - Post your sightings here!
Was a ripper day down here in Tas yesterday.
Saw a few 5's so I thought I would post em in here in case they are known
Saw a red NC in Launceston yesterday morning. Top on
Saw a silver and a gold NB?? coming out of Holwell road at Beaconsfield. Both with their top down. Was like a Tasmanian convoy. A whole 2 together
Saw a red NA, chrome style bar, at Exeter mid afternoon. Also top down.
If you saw me, I was the one wearing the Hawks beanie. As sunny as it was, it was a bit cold
I think 4 in one day is officially my record.
