i could come along but not much of a hills driver myself, but I'm sure Adam can show him the ropes around those parts

I can supply a route, as long as no-one crashes while following me this time! The last time was scary!

What about dinner at The British at North Adelaide, then a run through the hills starting somewhere around magill?

no-one crashed last time??? do you mean everyone else going slower due to the interstaters with precious cargo?

Yes they did... Somehow at low speed (ie I wasnt even braking for the corners) they went off on the end of a corner and ended up in a field two metres below the height of the road. We got to the end of a secton of road and noticed they weren't behind anymore, waited a bit then went back to find them, then almost freaked out (that was a situation where you REALLY didnt want that car going off the road)

oh, i gather this one aint an mx5cartalk SA event then, just so everyone knows. closest i've seen of any of the MX5 locals having an accident is AstroBoySoup on a HondaPrelude cruise, spun out & ended facing the mountainside but no prangs fortunately. that was ages ago & not all that long after he got his car. just as well his car wasn't painted yet either.

It was the last cartalk one, after you left. The S15 ended up in a paddock even though we were going soul crushingly slow

Both driver and passenger came out ok and they're doing just fine at the moment. Lack of experience with the car was probably what triggered the accident. One thing for sure though is that he really admires MX5s now.

dinner at Bath Hotel Norwood? havn't been there myself yet but it's good a nice sound to it :mrgreen:

i trust the waitresses are dressed suitably

at least i can pretend i don't understand english when that darn homeless hobo in that area is begging for money.

being a weekday i probably won't make it to the morning-afternoon out & abouts but who knows, i am due for a flexi day at work.
