Awesome drive! Awesome roads! I'll certainally be remembering and driving them again. I almost forgot how much I love driving the 5! Thanks guys! :D

Photos look great Juffa, I'd put up some of the ones I took on my phone but probably not worth it. Look forward to seeing more!

What a great day for a drive :D Thanks for coming everyone it was good to meet a few more mx5ers and put faces to names.

After a great last minute (less than a week) turn up im thinking af making this a once a month event, say 2nd sunday of the month and at the end of the session or next garage cafe meet up we can draw the next cruise out of a hat :) What do you guys think?

Im looking forward to seeing some picks up 8)

Craig, that sounds awesome. I'd certainly be up for that! There's a couple of people that didn't come today that I reckon we could persuade to join us. :wink:

Great cruise today. I haven't been on one for a while and what a day to go for a cruise in the hills!

Juffa and buz138, great to meet you! I'll certainly be showing one of these pics to a friend of mine in Brisbane. He's been searching for a yellow mex for a while and I'm sure this could motivate him to keep looking. :D

Really glad to hear it was a blast, I was pretty bummed I couldn't go. I feel a little less left out now though that it's going to be a frequent thing! Yay!!!

Great photo's guys, I wish I was down there to go with you. Although I did take my better half up to Mt Tamborine on Saturday for a drive with the roof off and we didn't need the snow gear :lol: just sunblock and sunglasses.

:( Sorry I missed this one as well but unfortunately the GLW wanted to go to Apolo Bay for the weekend, so I had to drive down the GOR and there was hardly any traffic. :mrgreen:

excellent pics-I too just spotted this thread. Wished I had seen it earlier I would have been in too, would have been cool to put some faces to names. Hopefully next time :)
