Did you stay for breakfast? Michael was calling out "is Doctor Bob here?" and no-one owned up. :lol:

Yeah we (wife and I) stayed for breakfast but didn't get a chance to introduce ourselves properly, mainly due to the seating arrangement. I think we were the last car in the pack at the last checkpoint, so we ended up stuck at a table on our own... Didn't hear anyone mention the name, sorry!

I may have looked pretty hostile with that big black jacket & beanie and my standard facial expression (which is set to something that makes people think I'm in a bad mood...) but I was really actually hoping to get to know some of you guys (some may have spotted me earnestly looking around the room trying to make eye contact like a shy kid hehe)

Kind of bummed we didn't get to sit with the group... but there will surely be a next time. The drive was fantastic!

Side note, had no idea white NBs were considered "rare" before talking to a few people today. Interesting... I guess I'll stick out on the road at least

EDIT: oh yeah I went out for a smoke at one point, probably when he called it out...

Ah that explains it. No worries, we'll make up for this Saturday at Josh's run down the coast and across the southern highlands. Plenty of time for chat before, during and after. Don't forget to pack your BBQ picnic supplies.

I saw you and your wife at only table for two and assumed it was by choice. I had managed to get tables for 4 or more and could have rearranged the tables to sit you with others if only I had known. :oops:

On your next BreakFast Club run seek me out and introduce yourself. :wink:

Another great run, particularly the third part through the rolling hills and the forest. Will definetly have to go though there again at a slower pace to enjoy the scenery around there.

Would love to see some photos from the day!

A few pics I took at the first stop. Hopefully someone got a few en-route.

A few photos thanks to co-pilot Lara. Unfortunately the last photo is blurred, but it's still a cool shot!

What a shame the last one is blurry! I was trying to figure who it was then noticed the little head, haha!

Apologies for the late showing, but here's our humble pictorial offering of James Manion's world famous Iceberg Run.

As an aside, love those wire wheels on Peter's NA.
