Thanks for arranging guys. It was great to see everyone again and meet some new people (even if it was brief). Hope to see you all again soon.
BTW, I reckon the silver one looks best

Zuzu, 2Bob, Tj303, Breville... thank you for a great Sunday morning.

Highlights for me were: The stares from passerby's as they realise there was a whole contingent of us parked in front of the cafe; all of us squeezed into the turn-off lane at the lights near GR Brothers Mercedes (nicely captured in the photo by Tj303); when Zuzu's car split from one into two near the beach as it's evil twin appeared.

2Bob you were a great pace car, though I don't remember pace cars out-running the field and leading them in motor sport.

Thanks everyone for the memories, looking forward to next time and I hope the photo's we've shared inspires even greater attendance then!

Sorry I could'nt make it guys. My son's 21st on Saturday night and with a late start on Sunday with bodies strewn around the house plus the enormous mess that needed to be cleaned up, my drive was doomed from the outset.
I guess the weather did not help either.
Thanks for the exhaust video on Zuzu's car Tj303. Looks also like I need to swap my JB+ to the new JB3 version.
Sounds you guys had a lot of fun though. Hopefully, something else can be organised and we can get lots of cars like the Southern Highlands drive.

nice pics there Sprey... From looking at our photos at the cafe no one would have guessed that the weather was bad!

I'll have to pass this credit onto my lovely gf Naz for that... She also enjoyed meeting you guys and the drive

Laugh of the day for me was an angry lady waving at me to slow down... i was doing the speed limit at the time (around 50km/h ). An angry looking older guy also did the same the other week when i was driving at 30km/h in a 50 zone. I think it's cos our 1er's look fast even whilst standing still

i'm glad the cars look clean... especially considering they had been sprayed by rain / wet roads before any photos were taken. They weren't really all that clean up close... especially Breville's car lol

I wonder if all of us used Armourall Wheel Protectant before the meet? Our wheels all looked reasonably clean!

I for one have never used Armourall on my wheels.... I wash the car weekly and have found now that the car has around 11.5k km's on her that there is considerably less brake dust.

I have also waxed the wheels twice, which I found makes them easier to maintain.

Sounds great Joe. Look forward to it. Would like to see how the JB+ compares to the JB3.

I use the wheel spray and it works an absolute treat. I've used it since day one and am very happy with the results. But then I don't clean my car every week..

Hi mate.. The photo's really dont show the crappy weather conditions that day which would of kept most "sensible" people at home that morning, hence the parking positions..
