Yep, all waving like idiots - the kids actually spotted you before I did!!

Oh, and by the way, a brilliant morning for a blast up Maquarie Pass (in the wifes car...)!!
Shame you were at work.....

Well, colour me green Next time you feel like a mid-week blast down there, give me a yell - with enough notice, I think my arm could be twisted enough to join you Might have to bring "Scarlett" though, so I can keep up with you

Notice??? I only gave myself about 3 seconds notice.....
I tell you what, those semi-trailers take up A LOT of the road when they come around those blind corners..... lucky I was not the first car in the queue (for a short time anyway...)

Yeah, damn scary They can make for a few 'change of undies' moments How nice would it be with no slow cars in front, and no big semi's taking up more than their half of the road

was suppose to post this a few wks ago... spotted a Rampant Lion clone one evening on sussex st, Chinatown... couldn't catch it in gridlock traffic, but I rang Ben to make sure it wasn't him.... it wasn't. So you might see a CR/W MCS with the rampant lion on the sunroof, be sure to check the no. plate.

Rings me up and says "... just going for a quick sprint around macq pass. Hows work?" Hope you enjoyed the drive in Lynne's car

I was stopped at the lights and looked ahead & spotted a MINI, then I thought hey I like those wheels, then I thought again hey those wheels look familiar I was thinking I'd get to work and you posted you'd spotted me. Bit hard to post that from Macq Pass All that thinking and I hadn't even got to work yet

You know how to increase the performance of an MCS without spending a cent?
Drive around in a Ford Territory all week, then when the wife lets you drive HER CAR, it feels like an absolute rocket (again...)

Or maybe even from 747 to a fighter jet? Concord was fast, but would have sucked at turning quickly

Im innocent i tells ya. I was outta the country on sunday doing something something. That must have been my evil twin brother Christmas. He was prolly driving around in a state of fear as he suffers from anatidaephobia and didnt see you guys gesticulating wildly from your car. He sends his apologies. I myself however may have seen ali heading the back way to worthless bmw on monday arvo. I was on the mtb when a white subaru went past heading down the road to the dealer. Anyhow a big HIYA for sunday.

Another great weekend (although I have never seen so much rain in my life), a great drive and a great bunch of people.
