On a serious note, thanks for welcoming me along boys (and ladies), it was my first time along to one of these drive days and it was a blast. You will definitley be seeing me around or chatting on the MK6 forums.

Stay Safe!

Yeh it was a good time today. Great to see new and old faces. Can be hard to do the rounds and talk to everyone on cruises. Friday nights at Tim's (DubAddiction) is a good meet up where there's more time for chatting. It's all informal, peoples just roll up if they are free on the night.

Absolutely awesome day guys! Was my first cruise out with this group...great bunch of blokes... Some beautiful cars... And the perfect day and roads for cruising. Love that you also arranged some controlled burn off to add some smoke effect to the bush run

Hope I wasn't holding up the Blue R too much on the Reefton run, first time through that bit of road!

Nah mate all good. I was worried you may have thought I was hassling you in the corners. Entry, mid and exit corner speeds and braking points differ from car to car. Makes it harder if we travel on unfamiliar roads. You held your own fairly well I thought. Great to hear you and your partner enjoyed yourselves.

Oh and the smoke was supplied by Todd no doubt for a photo opportunity !!

Haha, the wife is currently having an afternoon nanny nap! Must have been concentrating too hard in the co-pilot seat! Yeah, the little Honda enjoyed the bit of open road, a welcomed change from the daily drive to work.

yep - i always brake early compared to others - i've observed that the speeds i can turn in at, are lower than petrol cars - i cant really just "hook" it in like one could in a lighter (non diesel) engined car.

nice to meet you at the end there bryan - glad you and the missus had a good day! a good old "italian tune up" (thrashing the sh7t out of your car) is always good for it, and once you've been up over reefton a few times you start to get comfortable/ familiar with it - sorta like the thousands of laps of the nurburgring we've all done on gran turismo haha.

Can't wait to get back in on this; my S4 is being resurrected as we speak.

Well home now.... and as usual after such a top morning on the road, now maintaining a level of satisfaction that only comes from a cheeky braaaap through the vic high country.

Few sensational runs in there and a few wrong turn offs!! (But hey wouldnt be a cruise without it!)

Was great to meet everyone and the old 8 valver much appreciated the italian tune thats for sure, mind you might be putting aside a bit of time to rotate the tyres.. hard yakka keeping up with turbos and V8's!!! (Especially with you Scotty - taking that TD to the limits and beyond!!! - Think a fused clutch is letting you off lightly.. lol) and hope I didnt slow down the run from Mary to Healville too much, did my best to give us a bit of breathing space whenever I could!

Great to meet you all... looking foward to getting another run in before winter hits us with too much wet weather and for those who are reading this, please just take a minute out of your day and spare a thought for our duck population!! (Especially you S3 drivers... lol )

Cheers!!
