It was touch and go there! Considering I used to live @ Ashgrove, you'd think I'd remember my way around but so many bottles of Vodka later......these things get a little hazy :wink:

Great run guys and even better to meet a few of the Mexicans! :mrgreen:

Reminiscent of the Sydney night time rat runs without the darkness..

Co-pilot was a little relieved that the Nebo leg wasn't as fast as the last wet run through.

Hopefully have time tonight or tomorrow morning to post pics.

Cheers,

I was really happy to see so many cars/people given the short notice and the crrrraaap weather

. It was also especially good to have plenty of vacant left seats for our visitors and friends to swap around through.

The show and shine had to change to a mud and slime judged by fredbareoz. Winner by an engine bay mud patch was mick_98MXV :mrgreen:

Final Roll call (apart from Matty, Fredbareoz and Roady):

ASE05 and tony - the boys light up......hmmmm good song title.

I think everyone had an enjoyable morning. We need to have more of these things from time to time.

That's because you weren't up behind me on the second leg, Mr T! >:->

Excellent company and a very good morning indeed, despite the weather. We took our esteemed Mexicans up the Mt Mee run afterwards and were relatively lucky with the traffic - well, we were the second time, anyway!! :shock:

Great to put names to faces, and thanks again JBT for organising it. Also, it's really good to see the enthusiasts drifting back into the Club - another couple signed up today. I can sense a performance driving day at Mt Cotton coming on! Ted :?:

Once again thanks to JBT for organising the run

Big thumbs up!!! Great start to a weekend.

As everyone has said, it was really good to meet the guys we converse with on the forum, and put a face to a name and to a username. It was especially good to meet the three amigo's ....I mean Melbournians (Matty, Fredbareoz & Roady).

Here are some happy snaps.....

I took quite a few photos so if anyone wants 8MP versions of the above photos or to see if I have any of their car just PM me your e-mail address and car info.

Cheers,
Danny
