Here are my photos from the absolutely fabulous NatMeet. Everything was perfect, from the organisation, the venue, the runs, to meeting so many like-minded MX-5 club members from around Australia.

Great photos, looks like a good time was had. This photo is excellent!

Was there something wrong with everyone's roofs? Maybe they forgot they were driving convertibles? I mean the weather looked fantastic! Maybe I'm underestimating the crime rate in rural South Australia, and the roofs were always up as a preventative measure? :mrgreen:

Thanks for sharing, enjoyed looking through. Nice NB btw - interesting head gear

Lachy ... over the years I've occasionally come across the SA club on a run somewhere, and always been surprised to see how many have their roofs up! I virtually never use to drive mine with the roof up, but have to admit the longer I've owned mine, the more inclined I am becoming to only putting the roof down when everything is "just right " rather than feeling obliged "because convertible ". Maybe just becoming soft ....

My only thought is that there looked like there were very few Gen Y/Z in attendance :(

In stark summer time midday heat, or peak hour traffic the roof stays up, but on an Autumn cruise through windy roads on a crisp sunny day you couldn't pay me to keep it up! (as the actress said to the bishop :mrgreen: )

Excellent observations. It’s a common thread. Nothing says “bring in the youngsters,” like a mid week club run to a winery....

I'm amazed you actually made it there, considering;
-you took so many photos of the car standing still
-all the cholesterol you consumed
Very nice pics !
