Great run! Thanks guys

But

I'm stuck 5km from my house with a engine with no oil... I herd a loud bang, think it was the filter escaping...luckily I'm pulled up with half a sump of oil pooling under my car..Time to wait for the car trailer

Yikes!! Regie I hope it's nothing serious?

Great run everyone, the weather kept away nicely. Awesome turnout, and thanks to Neil for leading

That was my first official club run and I had a blast. Thanks everyone and especially Neil for leading. I'll be back for more!

Looking forward to seeing some of those pics/videos too.

Ahh back at home now..

The sump plug has dissapeared....I did an oil change last week, and didn't have a new crush washer handy....moral of the story, new crush washer every oil change

Oh...now I want supercharger!!

It shouldn't be. Car still had oil pressure when I switched it off. Now it's just a $2 part that has left me immobile..haha

The river road rocked!

Looking forward to photos and video too- sounds like another great mx5 run.

Another awesome run and thanks to Midori for his planning, and to the leaders of the segments while we waited/were waiting.

Great roads and breakfast was pretty cool too ! Looking at the coffee queue it was more than they were ready for but added to the experience.

Video up in a few days.
Some photos thanks to Lara:

Through Galston Gorge-super fun, pretty much a clear run

Picking up more MX5's at Mid Dural Road, about 23 cars!

Run leader view

Regroup after break at Cliftonville Resort

Lining up for ferry

Can we all fit? I think not!

Gentlemen, start your engines! Go!

Hi Everyone,

First time for me too today - really enjoyed the run down River Road. I've dríven it before in ordinary cars but it was much more fun in MaX

Matilda has told me that if I go on any more runs with you guys (I told her they are often much longer than today's) that she wants to come, so that's a "thumbs up" from the 13yo!

Nice to meet you all and some of those cars out today were truly magnificent. Glad you got home OK Regie

Thanks to all who were involved and hopefully see you all again sometime (hopefully less than 18mths this time :frown:

)

Mark

Whoa!

Great turn out guys. Is this a MX5 club or a forum run?

MX5 Breakfast Club Run - I believe it is not entirely associated with the club. Midori/BadBong?
