Canberra seems to be MX5 central. They're everywhere.

Might try and get down to the cafe at old parliment house for a coffee to say hi to you guys if I can pursude the financial controller.

Sam - you probably saw EMM62's NB8B with the M62 fitted (one of two in Canberra). He is a volunteer guide at OPH. Mine was on the north side today taking one of the rabbits to the vet for his yearly shots.

We'll be at the Old Parliment House courtyard cafe about 11am tomoorow. Should be 21 or so of us with fairly equal male/female mix if that helps sway the financial controller.

Call me boring but White and Dark silver are my favourite colours on a car. Can't go wrong with white!

I've seen two for sale on websites, one ages ago, perfect but in Qld (i think someone on here bought it). The other had high Kms...so what are my chances compared to other colours.

Actually - there are at least three white NB8B registered here in Canberra. Two are in the club (and only a suburb apart) and I once saw the other on the south side. Was waving like mad expecting it to be Mal's car (EMM62) but then realised it didn't have an intercooler.

If you come to new Parliament house on Sunday at about 9.15 am you should see two of them. From about 10:30 we should have moved onto Old Pariament House. Come join us for a coffee in the courtyard cafe.

I have never been asked the colour of my car. And I thought I tried all the companies when I lived in Qld . Logically silver should be the most expensive to insure as it is the hardest to see. But when was logic ever allowed to confuse the issue

And besides, no colour would be black. White is all the colours.

Actually, shades of blue are the least visible (they can blend with the blue metal road), white and yellow, obviously the most visible. The manager of my unit complex is insured with Allianz and gets the discount.

Sorry we missed you guys. We went up to Old Parliment house and did laps looking around but we were obviously early. We left at about 10:55 and went down to Floriade. Great show.

Might catch up with some of you guys at the Interstate challenge
