(Melb) Twisty drive this Friday the 24th

[bensale]

For those of you who aren't working this friday whos up for a bit of a drive. The forcast at the moment is for a sunny day so what the hell!

I was thinking of covering similar roads to Sundays drive viewtopic.php?f=64&t=37613. So up mountian highway, olinda, seville (can anyone rember the name of that great random road we went on near there? was it wandon east rd?) across to mt donna then up the reefton spur to marysville then down the black spur back to healsville. All up the drive should be a bit over 200km from The basin to healsville and according to google around 3.5 hours driving not including stops. Thinking lunch in either reefton, healsville or anywhere we see in between depending on time.

Thinking of meeting at the same place... mountain hwy, the basin (melway map65 g7) in the big carpark to the right of the shops as you drive up. Meet at 10am for a 10.30 departure.

Please add your name to this list if you wish to attend I'll PM my number to you incase you need it

I've got Thursday and Friday off. I was planning a run up to the Grampians but this will be perfect.

Cheers,
Keith.

Hi Rocka! Will be great to meet you! What camera do you have btw. So far all the people turning up will be playing with camera's we've got recently

[rocka]

Nothing to flash Bensale. I've just bought a Fuji S2000HD. I have never been much of a photographer but after getting a lend of my fathers SLR for a weekend I am keen as mustard to get into it a bit.

[bensale]

Nice, I quite like Fuji's, especially there SLR's. The fact that it shoots HD video is pretty cool too

[CheyneX5]

We are Fuji dealers where I work, they have some of the best lenses IMO.

[bensale]

So, anyone else coming?

[Pamex]

I wish. I will be thinking of you with insane jealousy as I edit my life away at work.

[wazman]

I'm in, sounds fun.

bensale hook me your number via PM incase i get lost on my way to the meet point

[wazman]

Well im home....... was a little cold around the ears with the top down in the snow....... but good fun.

Damp cold ice and snow ...... a little slippery..... a bit too slippery......

Nice to meet Keith, Andrew, Ben and Cheyne...... Nice guys.

[rocka]

Home at last and sitting in front of the heater thawing the bits the snow got to!
Great to meet you all, both today and last night at the Garage, certainly won't be the last time.
Cheers,
Keith.

great day, my first real twisty drive to my limit, thanks ben for organising.

snow was particularly fun, shame we got rid of the videos on cheyne's camera

hope you're pulling up ok cheyne!!

A few pics from yesterdays adventure.

Notice how Polar Bears blend in cleverly with their background, makes it easier to sneak up on eskimos.


Wazmans car reminds me of Dr Evil its just EVIL GENIUS.


My 5 looks like a 4 x 4 next to wazmans. Which is handy in the snow.
Note the Polar Bear sneaking up behind, I was lucky to escape.


Cheers,
Keith,

I'll put mine up tomorrow sometime.
