That sux, but congrats on the new place! I'm sure we'll do a few more drive days through summer.

Hey mate not sure if you saw my earlier post, but let's meet up around 9am? Where would be a good place? If we're going by Google maps route non-toll, we're just going down toorak rd->monash so I can meet you at the shell servo on toorak?

Sorry boys - I misread the location - I thought you lads were meeting up in burwood not belgrae - never mind, next time

Liub · 10-08-2010, 01:12 AM

Alright we're good to go, perfect weather (but the roads might still be a bit damp, so be careful!).

If anything happens to your availability, please post on this thread, I will check tomorrow morning and also at Belgrave in case people cannot make the drive

Or give me a PM for my mobile number. Unless I get notification that you're running late, we're departing at 10.30 on the dot

See you all tomorrow, Michael.

edit: cozza and I are meeting up beforehand on Toorak Rd for the drive to Belgrave, if anyone is around the city and wish to join us, please PM me!

Big Pappy · 10-08-2010, 02:38 AM

Hey Michael, ill be driving in from Brunswick and could possibly meet with you and cozza at Toorak Rd. Can you PM me ur mobile number?

Thanks!

AussieAlf · 10-09-2010, 01:14 AM

What a brilliant day. Sunshine, roof down and a great route with many twisties. I certainly had fun, hope everybody else did. We'll have to do another one of those in the not-too-distant future.

Please post a link to video cozza.

Cheers,Alf

Great day guys! Special thanks to Alf for the route and setting the pace for the peloton early on, and cozza for leading the breakaway group

Certainly showed us the 125 is more than capable out in front!

Thanks to everyone who came along today, turnout was great

Certainly looked awesome as we drove through Warburton and turned a few heads

Apologies I had to leave at lunch, but the drive back was probably quite boring for you lot as it was for me, stuck behind much traffic!

Looking forward to the pics cozza!

edit: And of course it was a pleasure meeting all of you, can't wait for the next one!

~sarah~ · 10-09-2010, 03:08 AM

Great day!! thanks for getting this happening Liub.

Pics please :-)

'fatboy' · 10-09-2010, 05:32 AM

I didn't realise how buggered I'd be after the drive day today!

Thanks Liub for organising and Alf for supplying the route and leading us away. I'm definitely a fan of the 123d, you had no trouble keeping us at bay... No doubt your fuel consumption will be less than half of what the rest of us went through today, ignoring that spillage problem we noticed in the carpark at lunch.

Given the day and time we drove, it was great to avoid most of the traffic around the area. I never knew it was possible to overtake on the black spur!

Look forward to the pics and vid

cozza · 10-09-2010, 08:23 AM

G'day gang. Thanks to everyone for a great day today! Below are a few photos - sorry I didn't get shots of everyone's car, was a bit difficult with us all spread out, should have set up a group photo. Will post the videos shortly.
