[color=#3A6EA5:post_uid0]Had a great drive with a fantastic side order of weather :D - pity about the roadworks in Toolangi and the 'evil kineval' trying to show off through Kinglake :angry:

Anyway I had a blast for my first cruise with you guys and can't wait for the next. :D :D

Well organised Rod!! (I'll try and get my film developed soon too, just need to find a scanner to upload them - Bloody SLR's).[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Made it there Sunday. Was a great drive with some good tight corners & some leg stretching straights.
Good scenery & weird local brews in Healsville.
A good bunch of guys in the group.
Enjoyed the day. Shame about the RX7's engine not starting on time. Would have liked to see the bridge-port go! Ohh well, he made it there in the end.
A good bunch of guys in the group.
Will definately be up for another.
Dan, you don't muck around with getting the pics up.
Would like to see more pics up here soon from Trav & Rod.
Well organised day Rod!

[color=#000000:post_uid0]thanx guys,
I had a great day.
Weather was perfect, the roads were good with LOTS of twisties.

Its a shame my car isnt in the great shape it could've been. clutch is getting dodgy etc, but she made it !
I just had to be careful and take it a bit slower than i would normally. And the 2 new tyres from the day before had to be run in a bit.

Was really good to meet and chat with the ppl who turned up.

And great fun to go thru the dirt roadworks just after washing the car that morning :;):

Cant wait tilll the next one !
