Don't forget tomorrow's run 9.00 am for 9.30am start at Subway Heathcote next door to Maccas. Weather forecast is beautiful "top down" sunny day for a run down the coast. See you all there.

Very impressive turn out of MX-5s for this run. There must have been 40 cars parked in Robertson when I passed by leading an informal drive of 15 BMW 1 Series. It was a great day for a drive. While having a pie at Robertson, we also saw a large group of Jaguars heading for Jamberoo Mountain Road, and a group of Porsches (including a lovely 356 soft-top) heading for Macquarie Pass. And all the local constabulary seemed to be otherwise occupied with providing an escort for a bicycle race on the Old Hume Highway! :mrgreen:

Just back from today's 7 Miles Beach run. Great turn up. Great to see new faces and some old ones who haven't been for a while. Congratulations to Mark & Hella for a well organised run that ran very smoothly and they should be very pleased with themselves. It would be great to see some of the "moving shots" taken by many members on the run :lol:

I have a few but they are pretty crappy

The poor lady at Subway was swamped by orders for bacon and egg rolls and coffee.

Sorry I just had to put this one in....I'm sure Coffeeboss will like it!

Drove down to Jervis Bay after lunch. Came home in the evening along the coast road via Sea Cliff Bridge.
The drive home was superb. Driving top down in the balmy evening darkness was a great experience.

looked like a fun drive.

Nice photos! So how many MX-5s were on the run? I think I count about two dozen in these photos, but when I drove past I got the impression there might have been more than that. Was an impressive site!

I didn't do a total count but there were approximately 5or 6 more cars on the other side of the road.
So mid 20s to 30 seems fair enough.

BTW for those outside the local area that is Robertson's Big Potato in the photo. above.

Where did the group stop for lunch? I don't recognise that carpark.

Some more photos to add to the ones above.

It was another well organised and enjoyable run.

Thanks Hella and Mark for your work and effort to organise a great day.

The lunch stop was at the Heads Hotel Motel at Shoalhaven Heads over looking the Shoalhaven River and it was a very nice position.
