Quick headcount: There were 37 people at PITS some came and went during the day. There were 21 cars all up. :)

Great to hear you had a good day too Todd :D Wasn't cobra weather for us today - when we set out at 7.30 this morning it was raining. On the way home it topped 38 degrees on the thermometer. A lot of us got pretty burnt. Almost didn't put the sunscreen on this morning cause it looked so miserable. Am very glad that I did.

Well, what a fab day.

A HUGE thankyou to our 'organisers' Al and Kerrie for keeping everyone in line and making sure the day ran as smoothly as it did :D Well done :D

Fantastic turnout. Loads of colours, MANY new faces, including International visitors. wow so much happened today :D

From garage back to garage, Obsession clocked 437.5kms! :eek: Impressively, all on one tank, and considering the driving, and the fact that she still said there was 90 K or so to go! :D

Fantastic to meet our UK friends :D Hope you enjoyed your drive today! Pleasure meeting you all :D Hopefully I'll catch up with you again at Costwolds in August :cool:

Thankyou to everyone who participated in the drive, and cheers for making it probably the biggest and most exciting one we've had to date.

Man, how cool are these MINIs! :D :cool:

Resizing my piccies now :D

Hi Guys,

I just got home, thank goodness im still in one piece & my car is fine, a tad dirty ( bugs mainly ) but thats okay, ill be washing my cooper soon anyways before it gets dark.

Glad i stuck around today the roads where really cool, a few of the roads i was worried about as they where so narrow.

How hot was it today, reached 39.5 degrees i think. :eek:

Its been awhile since i went on a run with you guys, i forgot how much fun the drives where :D, so when is the next run ?

I was impressed with Harrigans, very nice place, just had a few drinks in the sports bar & watch some basketball.......a nice cold beer would of been nice, but being on green P plates i guess it was best i drank coke. lol

Only 29 days until im on my full licence anyways......cant wait. :p

Hi.

Great shots as usual Scotty. BTW I am nominating that shot of the minis reflected off the glasses for the mini2 calender 2006, Gazah, please take note ;)

It was nice to meet everyone this morning, sorry we couldn't make it for the run :(

Cheers

Robbo

Great shots guys! (Scotty)

Maybe someone could post a list of who was each person in each car/shot... I know most faces - but not all...

Who's car has the car-bra on it? I was just wondering what it is worth...

Damn I wish I coulda had the CR/B up there... :(

Looks like it was a great turn out, great drive, great food and a great cause! GREAT! :D

Very cool photo Scotty :D :D :D

Aren't you glad I reminded you to take your camera :p

Great pics Scotty. Looks like there was quite a few 05s along which is great to see. I liked the plate MCS-16S. Wonder if anyone has ordered this one yet...

I love that.

Dunno if I can justify the extra $130 or whatever it is a year though...

Course you can, it's your Obsession! :D

I love that.

Dunno if I can justify the extra $130 or whatever it is a year though...
Get it :D

hmmmmmmm.......

Tint, viper stripes, and plates. Could work :p

Hey Lima... why didnt you get up there today?

Hey Scotty I hear there was some cuties in the Red bull car... any shots of that?

Enjoyed ourselves today. what a fantastic run, and some great roads. Sometimes can be challenging trying not to wake up precious cargos.

thanks Kerrie/Alan for putting it all together.

Looking forward to the next one. :cool:

Baby G can't wait to see the lovely smiley purple haired teletubby again. :D

will we ever get to see the video?

A huge thank you to all who attended todays event, thank you for your co operation, patience and most of all your generosity. $1,000 is a significant amount from a small gathering such as ours today.
A special THANK YOU to the magnifecent Ks, Kerrie, Karen and Kellie for their paper work and pathfinding. It wouldn't have gone as smoothly without you. :D :D :D :D .
It was a pleasure to see so many new faces and MINIs (I feel like I'm driving an old clanger seeing so many 2005's).
The Buttons and company had an absolute blast, and I thank you all for making them so welcome.
So untill the next one.

Sounds like a plan ;)

Great work guys, that's some pretty good donating. :)

MINI owners might have small cars, but they have BIG Hearts.
