I agree about the pix mate. I uploaded them to a photo hosting site as this was the only way to have better than 'thumbnail' size pix. That's progress for ya!

Ok....used my own site....Pics are here...

I'd like to thank the guys for taking me along and meeting fellow mini lovers, and hope to do some more great driving.

Twas very nice to meet you Mike. Look forward to more drives with you along mate..

there was nothing wrong with my shirt

(if there was a mini wrc team...I'd get their shirt)

Dave not looking where he's going

Alan tailgaiting on the mount:

Thanks to Andrew that dragged my tired a s s to Sydney yesterday, Alan for picking me up in the suburbs this morning, Simon for helping my pasty skin get some sun in his sweet ride and Dave for letting have a ride in his beast as well! I was a real car whore today!

Good that you finally joined us on a run too Mike!

AndrewH · Oct 23rd, 2005, 11:11 AM

Hey guys, almost 1000k’s later and I’m absolutely knackered!

It was a great weekend and thanks for everyone that joined in the fun (esp Simon who had to get up extra early this morning to make the tightly scheduled meeting timetable). I seem to be getting lazier and lazier when it comes to taking photos at Mini meets, too much time gasbagging I suppose, so I haven’t got any photos that are worth the effort of resizing and posting

All in all, we were very lucky with the weather and the traffic. It was nice to experience a bit of rain on Saturday but it was not nearly enough to spoil the fun.

Given how close the Southern Highlands are for us, take it as given that we’ll be going back for more

Thanks to Tiaan and Mrs Minigolf, the whole of south east NSW knows all about the quality and relative merits of VW Polo GTI’s, Golf GTI’s and various other offerings from the VW Group

Look forward to more picks

Oh, the highlight of the trip would have to be fanging down forest elbow hitting the breaks and having Mr Clever (see picture below – thanks Simon

) roll into the drivers side fool well and almost wedge himself behind the brake peddle

yeah...that's totally up your alley!

I've got some video of yesterday that would make the crustiest sailor sea sick...

Mick took us to some incredible roads....dare I say it...better than putty!

hopefully the stuff we took on Dave's camera comes out!

ScottyB · Oct 23rd, 2005, 11:28 AM

Scotty, seriously, every single twisty road we did on Saturday (in the Jamberoo/Robertson area) is better than Putty. Macquarie Pass especially, the surface is smooth as a babay's bum.

Rampant Lion · Oct 23rd, 2005, 11:48 AM

Looks like you guys had an awesome time! I wish I could have come but everything fell apart at the last minute, good to see you enjoyed the Mountain. How did you like the round abouts going up William St?

minigolf · Oct 23rd, 2005, 11:57 AM

All my pics are up now as well, including some Motor Show stuff in between.
