Good work with the organising Nik, and good meeting you guys.

It’s a shame White Triton (or was it a Hilux? ah who cares) Man wouldn't let us take a couple of quick pic's with the Silos in the background.
Anyway it was a great arvo for it, and so glad I remembered and made it in time.
Can’t wait for the next meet.

Good work with the locations Nik, I'm sure a lot of the photo's will turn out great!

Looking at my SD card, most of my photo's are missing?? Seems like I only have about 5 from the end when my car was up on the ramp. Will look forward to seeing what everyone else has!

Yes - that is the standard way I leave in my car.

But also, yes - it is a standard exhaust. (They have a sports exhaust on the 35iS model, different to the standard Z4)

The exhaust system and DCT box have a few tricks up their sleeves.
That was a simple full throttle take off (once I started rolling so that I didn't spray rocks on the car behind me).
Sounds OK?

But, if you take off on half throttle, and ease off slightly on the pedal right on down change you can get it to make an extended pwaaarp sound that will shake the windows.
I can recommended it in the Clem 7 tunnel.
Itching for the new airport link tunnel to open because I will do about a hundred runs while it is free.

(Not that I do something that childish at every opportunity )

It also has some nice pops and burbles on the overrun.
