That was my first official club run and I had a blast. Thanks everyone and especially Neil for leading. I'll be back for more!
Looking forward to seeing some of those pics/videos too.

Ahh back at home now..
The sump plug has dissapeared....I did an oil change last week, and didn't have a new crush washer handy....moral of the story, new crush washer every oil change
Oh...now I want supercharger!!

But
I'm stuck 5km from my house with a engine with no oil... I herd a loud bang, think it was the filter escaping...luckily I'm pulled up with half a sump of oil pooling under my car..Time to wait for the car trailer
Oh no! Not terminal damage I hope?

It shouldn't be. Car still had oil pressure when I switched it off. Now it's just a $2 part that has left me immobile..haha
The river road rocked!

Another awesome run and thanks to Midori for his planning, and to the leaders of the segments while we waited/were waiting.
Great roads and breakfast was pretty cool too ! Looking at the coffee queue it was more than they were ready for but added to the experience.

Video up in a few days.
Some photos thanks to Lara:

Through Galston Gorge-super fun, pretty much a clear run

Picking up more MX5's at Mid Dural Road, about 23 cars!

Run leader view

Regroup after break at Cliftonville Resort

Lining up for ferry

Can we all fit? I think not!

Gentlemen, start your engines! Go!

MX5 Breakfast Club Run - I believe it is not entirely associated with the club. Midori/BadBong?

The River Road is a great spirited run and Neil's video is at least as good as the road
Well done Neil with the video and keeping it altogether on the road on the day
