I went ahead and photoshopped the plates out of my pics anyway. Craig check your PM :mrgreen:

Rundown of the day? Well it went something like this:
- Ogled Tim (Zoom-Zoom)'s engine bay with bling Mania CAI.
- Ogled the shiny new red NC's.
- Kept losing each other on the way to OPH, but finding each other again :D
- Clear roads all the way to Road Warriors Cafe, ('cept for that *$^@ Pulsar!)
- Pulled over at Road Warriors cos Mandi gave her co-pilot a nosebleed. Then she stalls her car. Hilarity ensues.
- Continue to Gosford. Go the mighty VB Commodore!
- Stop outside Iguana Joe's, decide we can't be stuffed to do anything else so head back.
- Tim does a Schuey; pie stop along the way.
- Head our separate ways home.

Did I miss out on anything..?

Hey guys,

Good to meet most of you there. Unfortunately I couldn't stay for the entire run as I have other comittments and I turned off at Galston Rd...but it was great to meet most of you and look forward to running with you guys a lot more in the future.

Please send pictures and vids to s15_nrg@hotmail.com

Cheers guys, I enjoyed myself...for the whole 1 hour I was there :roll: :lol:

Yes - me dragging Tim off at the lights but nobody saw it except for Tim and his passenger and Myself and my passenger - as such I may have trouble proving this happened.

Oh, and one thing I did forget to mention - the roads! Hardly any traffic on the twisty bits that mattered, lots of interesting sightings (including a nice gold Cobra) and glorious weather!! :D

Sucks to those that missed out =P

On a personal note, it's interesting to see how much I've improved as a driver. The last time I was up there just 2 months ago I really did feel like I was going 10/10ths (yeah dangerous I know). Car was nervous the whole way through and I thought I'd lose it completely a few times.

This time around I'm sure we were going just as fast, but my widdle blue car (the only NA there after JSE left us pfft) took it like a champ. Rock solid all the way, and I could still be going faster.

(am I allowed to be discussing all of this..?)

Anyway, thanks to all who came. I had the bestest time ever. See y'all next run :mrgreen:
