Brad - unfortunately Trish and I will be unable to make the drive - simply because we've committed to do the Cycle Sydney event which falls on the same day.

It's a bit early I know but I'll take this opportunity to wish all MINI 2 Members a merry christmas!!!

Well Myers have had their trees up now for 4 weeks so why not wish you all a good christmas and have a safe drive on the 28th - we'll be thinking of ya.

Any other MINI2'ers going to be in the Gold Coast/Byron this christmas should PM me!!!!

Al and Trish.

See you tomorrow Charmaine, should be a great day. Lets hope the late storm, that has been predicted, waits until we finish lunch this year.

See Trelo when you get to Krispy Kreme . . a bunch of us will be meeting you there after our big breakfast at the Nelson. Should arrive about 9.45/10.

It was an excellent day made even better a by a bunch of really great MINI Owners. Congratualtions Eric on your big win. The MCS/PW/B looks excellent.

Despite a little hiccup with having to negotiate around the bicycle event, in the Sydney CBD, before finding a way to the Lord Nelson we managed to get the run back on schedule.

After a great breakfast we headed out to Krispy Kreme to pick up Trelo, Mini-X and erichui and have a donut or two compliments of Erik from Sylvania MINI.

Then it was up to Katoomba and scenic world before heading over to Mt Tomah for a relaxing lunch looking over a majestic view of the Blue Mountains and its many valleys. A few sips of some great wines supplied by Heritage Fine Wines, a cheese plate or two and some coffee and we were ready to head home.

It was an excellent day made more so by a great bunch of MINI owners.Special thanks to Deb and Lisa from Fairfax Newspapers, De Lorenzo for the drive paks and Erik Bellendir from Sylvania MINI.

Congratulations to erichui for taking peoples choice award for the best turned out MINI on the day.

Have a safe and happy Christmas/New Year and we look forward to our next big event which is scheduled February '05 (details soon).

Arrived early at The Lord Nelson to prepare for the brekky briefing
