Lunch space available if you don't get a better offer.

Thanks mate

Not so much a better offer, just finding time to get organised and then having the time to spare.

How about one of these for those with E85...

That's got to get you at least 500km!

Might negate the performance advantage a bit.

Thanks guys
It was good catching up with a few old faces, & meeting some new ones. I think we can call the day a success.
Here are the only photos I got.

Thanks for coming along everyone. SWMBO and I enjoyed the day, and we had the roads mostly to ourselves. A perfect (but windy) late winter's day in the south east. Got the cow poo off my sills - cuppa time now.

Great drive out with great people. Here’s looking forward to the next run! A big thanks to the oracle of the SER backroads JBT- cheers John, you make the ideal lead car for these runs :BROADY:

Gladiator popped in on his way home and yes I was under the car!

It took a 1.5m breaker bar to 'start' to move the axle nut

2 sides done, just need new axle nuts and brake pads... There is ZERO bind in the suspension when torqued up. It almost floats.

Geez, that third pic gives me a clue as to why I bottomed out a few times.
