Was wondering where they all were!

Genuinely surprised that this wasn't just another photo of that Tasmanian touring guide.

I was lamenting to my partner earlier in the day that in the three trips I've had to Tasmania I was yet to see an NA or NB and then we stumbled on this :D
She commented about how well kept they all were, not the shabby collection she usually encounters at home. I let that one slide.

I spent 2 weeks driving around Tasmania just last month and spotted only 1 NB on my last day there in Devonport. I was very surprised by the apparent rarity of MX-5's given Tassie's amazing roads. Not that I can talk - I left the clubman at home and opted to take my Golf GTI instead too.

On the other hand, the number of Subaru Brumby's putting around down there... Wow.

I dont see a lot of mx5's down here. They are normally in a pack like the photo above

Brumbys yes, you may have seen the electric brumby on your travels too

Southern and Northern chapters of the MX-5 Club have a monthly drive. The day this photo was taken, the Southern chapter had a drive down to Dunalley, and this must have been the Northern chapter.

We only had two NAs go along on the 21st, though often mine is the only one! :NA8: :NA6:
