Perfect day for it!

Kids up and excited.
Charging the cameras.
Filled the tank.
Only two more hours to wait....

BMW86 · 11-06-2011, 03:17 AM

Great day with great company. Always fun to stretch the cars legs! Anyone have any pics to post up?

Harlequin · 11-06-2011, 03:19 AM

Ditto... Had a great time... Will put up some pics after I've had dinner

BBK · 11-06-2011, 03:44 AM

Pizza hut or dominos ? Haha...

Had a great time too thanks to BMW qld for organising.

BBK · 11-06-2011, 03:46 AM

Oops double post

Harlequin · 11-06-2011, 03:53 AM

Dominos...

Tried Pizza Hut but my house is in a new area and they reckon it's outside their delivery zone.

It's not, but fuck'em... too tired to argue tonight...

Harlequin · 11-06-2011, 04:04 AM

Didn't really feel like playing Photographer today but these are the ones I got at Rathdowney...

BMW86 · 11-06-2011, 04:08 AM

Thanks Angus. Great shots as always

Jude Starr · 11-06-2011, 04:43 AM

A few that I took...

Harlequin · 11-06-2011, 04:45 AM

Nice

Dr Stig 2 · 11-06-2011, 05:29 AM

'twas great fun.
I'm pleased to say my little diesel X3 didn't hold anyone up either.

I have a few Gigs of driving video with embedded GPS data (nearly 2 hours of HD) if anyone has a way to share it.

Did you have to cross country to keep up?

Ha ha.
I had the kids in the back so I had to take it easy in the corners. Didn't want to invoke any motion sickness in the new car.
Still runnign it in as well so I was gentle on the loud pedal.
Even with my restraint we kept up with the pack, and even surprised a few with its acceleration and speed on the straights.
You will not be dissappointed with yours Steve when you get a chance to stretch its legs.

PS - bloody iPhone app keeps posting my replies to this thread in the "1M takes third behind..." thread. WTF?
I have to log onto a computer and delete the reply and post it again in the proper location. This happening to anyone else?

Don't think I will be stretch the X3 legs for a while... may be when I can steal the car away my wife.

BMW86 · 11-06-2011, 07:08 AM

Great shots Jude

sbce90 · 11-06-2011, 07:14 AM

Um. was there an evo in there?

samchuang33 · 11-06-2011, 07:37 AM

Had a great time guys!

Thx to Ian and all of the organizers at the Club. It excellent to have the change in route compare to previous year but quite a long cruise this time round. My odometer said that I have done close to over 350k.

Didn't feel that long thou

Will post pic later on

Yes I ended up using the entire full tank by the end of the day. I got 400km which isn't bad considering how many times I put my foot down.

I have to give the turbo diesel some respect. We used just under a half tank getting to Uki, then less than an eighth of a tank gettign home. Amazing.
I would have been on fumes by lunchtime in the Z.
