Hi boxster,

Thanks for the invite. I assume the trip is on tomorrow? If so, I won't be able to attend due to other commitments however would be keen on future runs.

Yep great roads and the green NB that he is talking about is my blue NB. It keeps up pretty well for a slightly modified mx5. Needs a bit more power up hill........or new diff! 4.3 Torsen 2 LSD. All in all we go for a great drive every fortnight and would be awesome to have some more company!

I've to be down in Tweed before 1pm tomorrow. I won't commit but will try to attend. Otherwise I'll try the next run.

Have you tried the members from AE (Aussie Exotics)? They used to have regular runs however it all stops when the main organiser left for UK last year. You will get some really nice cars along, Lambo Murcie, Lotus, Ferrari and maybe the odd Mclarean.

Kev,

Just got back. Long day but worth it. Weather was great and will have to remember to apply plenty of sunscreen next time! Not sure where we will go next week just yet. Would be good to have a few extra cars though.

I would say we should be right for either the 6th or 7th. Either myself or Boxter986 will post an update.

Boxster and Max,

Any update on your run for this Sunday?

I'll give the club run a miss and tag along to your drive. However I'm only keen on a short run. Hope to be back home before mid day.

If no update from either of them, I intend on driving to Pitstop on Mt Mee for coffee. It will be a short drive with lots of winding road at an easy pace (Miss Daisy style). :lol: :mrgreen:

I'll SMS the details if I don't hear from boxster or maxgus.
