Awesome day thanks all. Got the mr2 home but got stuck on the side of the hwy in my DD with golfball hail coming down. Amazingly it only has a couple of tiny dints. Cracked the windscreen good n proper though. Shannons will have to by me a new one.

 (Grant is a true male; he doesn't need directions!! hehehe). 
Hogan Road was brilliant ending to the day.
That's alright Steve, But what about the sheep who followed me?
Great day anyway, Stopped off at my sister's place at Oxenford for a coffee. Then drove into a hailstorm on Centenary Highway. Thankfully no damage to car, But it looks like it snowed in my backyard.Thanks once again to Walter & Kathy for another successful day...cheers.

Well I had a really great day, and it sure as hell was better than schoolies! most fun Ive had all year by far.

Starting off my mate wasn't really interested but as the day progressed he started liking it more, and man he can drive ;)
I probably learnt more about my car and car control today than in my whole 11 months driving experience, and I started to get my heel-toe downshifts and rev matching down pat.
there was a few moments of understeer where I was quite concerned...
 
Also broke the car pretty good. When we hit a massive bump one of the wheel weights broke loose and the whole way home the front wheel was shaking really bad. Also had to battle with epic bump steer from the car being so low
looks like she's getting higher with new wheels and tires ;) 

Sort of annoying that there was so many cyclists along the way through tambo but still good. anyway here's some snaps I took while in the passengers seat along with some panorama's

 

 

 

 
Thanks everyone for an awesome day! I hope I didnt hold anyone up too much being the only L plater :P

Looking foward to the next one!

A great day out. Awesome roads, great company. Got home before the storm and all. Cheers to Walter & Kathy for gettin us organised.
Viva el Presidente.

What we're dealing with here is a complete lack of respect for the law.-"Sheriff Buford T. Justice."
Do you know the 1st rule of Italian driving?

Had a great day definitely the best one so far. Only about 2 min of a light sprinkle and then all sun.
Thanks Walter and Kathy for creating ANOTHER great run, I don't know how you do it, if it was my job every meet would be the same drive... To McDonald's or something like that...
