Thanks for another great trip Joni and Chris.

Lots of new faces and even a few motorsport perspectives.

Great weather and great breakfast. Nice alone trip through the mountain to finish up. :mrgreen:

Once again thanks to Joni and Chris for arranging this meet.

Steve and Uneeq, there is no need for apologies, we have all been in your shoes at some stage. And today wasn't a race it was a cruise. Sometimes we get carried away, and should be apologising for putting pressure on you.

Everyone, thanks for rocking up and behaving responsibly.

Boags, thanks for coming down, hopefully you can make it next year, if Tia has been sourced you can have a stint behind the wheel :mrgreen:

well said stu. thanks joni and chris , i had a great time. bloody knackered i think it was about a 16 hour round trip for me today . plenty of stops along the way tho to recharge.

i have some crappy pics i can post up.

first stop at lorne Image

Image

for the lorne to apollo bay trip, i threw the keys to boags as i could see he was suffering some serious withdrawl symptoms after selling his mx5 3 weeks ago
(terrible photo sorry for my ugly mug! )
Image

he also got to drive phil's na8, and got a ride in stu's nb so i think he well and truly got his mx5 fix today!

then we stopped for breakfast at apollo bay

Image

at this point the cruise was over but there was an optional drive to timboon for lunch, of course we had to stop at the 12 apostles along the way

Image

(spose i could have shown a photo of the 12 apostles but i thought the carpark shot was more interesting :mrgreen: )

Yes, agreed was a fun day. Went on to Port Campbell, had coffee and then we returned to Melbourne via the GOR in reverse with the GLW at the helm. Stopped at Torquay for a late lunch and then back to the big smoke. Was great to see so many people and quite a few from the Thursday night crew as well!! :lol:
Guess we'll have plenty to discuss next Thursday night at the next installment of Teem Garage. 8) Thanks to Boags for your presence, that's dedication. Sorry I didn't get to speak to you for long but looks as though you were looked after.

:shock: What part of Canada? Wish I had known. The GLW and I spent 12 months there back in 1996.
