Hi Allan,

You should caption the photo of the front end of MX2GO “This is what happens to your nose and grill when you are at the front with Russ trying to penetrate your exhaust pipes in his polished pride and joy”. :lol:

Day 2 – Beechworth to Bright (via Jindabyne & Adaminaby)

Early start in the morning

Photo op somewhere in the middle of nowhere. We were the only silly ones up at that time of the morning

Fog greeted us on this fine day

It was so early, people were still asleep in this town

Warm enough fellas?

Wow... got back from 4 days of the most awesome drives I've done, gorgeous countryside, great food, fabulous company, and some great great cars... everything in sydney seems so drab and colourless now..

A big thank you from Nazreen and I to Michael for organising this run. It was a pleasure and an honour to spend these last 4 days and the roads and the restaurants with you guys.

We had the most amazing time, and cannot wait for the next run! We loved the drives and the countryside, but especially sharing the road with excellent drivers in a car that was simply made for the twists and turns. Even the NCs seem alright now.. :mrgreen:

Seriously peeps, you have simply got to make time for a run like this!

Got a quick sms from Nazreen yesterday which went like... "Had such a good time the past 4 days. Missing the cars, place n people..."

Think we have another mx5 tragic on our hands.. yayyy...

Got dropped straight into work and simply no time to get on the net, but I can see that others have managed to put up the pix before our intrepid photographer. Give him a break; he's been running flat out to get the shots, and he's just a little exhausted

The shots will be just great though..

I'll put up my efforts shortly, but I'm sure everyone else has already covered it in detail.

Oh, that's just classic. :lol:

Time to read the manual for your SLR to find that 10 second delay button Gav... :mrgreen:

Few highlights. I havent graded these yet, Plus not much time to shoot Manual so most in car shots are auto.
Hence the blown out shots. My Bad.

We are here

Photo Op

Even tourist got into the action

Leaving Bright

Zoom, Zoom, Zoom

How many does it take to jump start an MX5?.....One. The rest are just shocked bystanders, that an MX5 needed a jump start. Obviously driver error :mrgreen:

Check out his butt. He must work out :mrgreen:
