Actually Sun Rise pics.
Stats are from Scanguage11 Trip computer. Very handy little device.
Also shows max rpm and max kph for the day/trip. Yesterday our max rpm was 6750 (SE rev limiter) i wont tell you what gear we were in at the time But it wasnt 1st, 2nd, or 3rd........
We are just doing some laundry and then have couple of hours to detail the cars for Concourse in the morning.
The car park at Maclarens on the Lake is a hive of activity with all manner of MX5 buzzing arouns with proud owners polishing everything from roofs to brakes.

Well the Concourse was run and won today (although we dont know who won yet)
What a fantastic site - so many sparkling, really cool MX5s on show.

Willunga Hill Climb Event yesterday.
Everyone lined up as a group for photos before splitting for the days events.
From all accounts the hill climb was challenging and well worth the effort.
It is a great road.





MMM The Titanium is a Collectible, and the VR is an Antique?


Checking out the local vineyards

Sorry they are mostly of us - but 90% of the owners piked out and watched from the car park

A road somewhere north of Adelaide

It can be hard to find a place to take an unscheduled+private "wiz" on the GAFA (Great Australian F-All)

Thanks for the GREAT pix Stuart & Lisa... and for posting them so darn quickly too!

Ann and I arrived back in Sydney after a 1,400 km journey with the roof UP all the way due to the heavy rain. Fortunately we made Balranald ahead of a major downpour for our overnight stop on Tuesday. Squally rain all day today (Wednesday) and not worth bothering to prove the KDS principle so the roof stayed up. Stopped off in Narrandera, after a bug-splat-free-Hay Plain-crossing and bumped into Dave (of blue MX5+MX5 trailer fame) outside the bakery. Ann & I loitered around the town for a bit and Dave went on ahead. We saw him later in Wagga, but curiously he was going the opposite direction (...we figured the pies at Narandera were so good he just had to go back for a third).

The only other MX5 we saw on the whole trip back was a midnight blue NB around Campbelltown, which we followed for a while. Gave out a toot-toot when we passed it and got an enthusiastic wave back by the bearded chap in the cockpit.

In the next few days I expect to get around to assembling a few pix of our Natmeet 2010 experience (...which I can only sum up as EXCELLENT!) BTW: We're locked in for NatMeet 2012 in Canberra.

...Oh, here's what I meant when I said Bug-Splat. I hear on very good authority that a certain red NC leading the pack down from Brizvegas copped it worse that this though.
