haha
Actually Sun Rise pics.
Stats are from Scanguage11 Trip computer. Very handy little device.
Also shows max rpm and max kph for the day/trip. Yesterday our max rpm was 6750 (SE rev limiter) i wont tell you what gear we were in at the time :shock:

But it wasnt 1st, 2nd, or 3rd........
We are just doing some laundry and then have couple of hours to detail the cars for Concourse in the morning.
The car park at Maclarens on the Lake is a hive of activity with all manner of MX5 buzzing arouns with proud owners polishing everything from roofs to brakes.

Willunga Hill Climb Event yesterday.
Everyone lined up as a group for photos before splitting for the days events.
From all accounts the hill climb was challenging and well worth the effort.
It is a great road.

MMM The Titanium is a Collectible, and the VR is an Antique?

Checking out the local vineyards

What a blast - MX-5s on the BEACH!!!!!
Such great fun - shame about the 10kph speed limit

Enjoy some pics

Sorry they are mostly of us - but 90% of the owners piked out and watched from the car park :lol:
